The GW and local D.C., Maryland and Virginia communities are invited to join the Walk for Peace on the final stop of their monumental journey. A special program featuring a message of peace, blessings, and meditation will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at the Charles E. Smith Center.
This inspiring movement began on Oct. 26, 2025, when nearly two dozen Buddhist monks (also referred to as Bhantes) and Aloka the Peace Dog, from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, Texas, embarked on a 2,300-mile walking journey to Washington, D.C., to promote national healing, unity, and compassion.
Media interested in attending must provide valid media credentials and email gwmedia@gwu.edu to register.
