Group Sitting & Walking Meditation
Yoga, Music & Spoken Word

Location: MLK Civic Center Park in Berkeley
Admission
: Donations/Pledges.
No one turned away for lack of funds.

Activists, Meditators, Yogis, Agents of Change:


SIT For Change benefits Transformative Change
Fund
. The fund supports activists in cultivating
their inner lives to become more effective agents
of transformative change

"Like King and Gandhi, Suu Kyi and Mandela,
Black Elk and Chávez, when our action is rooted
in presence, the moment-to-moment skill and
grace that comes from being self-aware and
connected to purpose, that force of deep
inner-knowing guides our every step."

3 Simple Ways to Take A Stand

To REGISTER visit our website at:
http://www.urbanpeace.org

Registration is recommended, but not required.

1. PARTICIPATE: Register as a participant.
Commit to sit for one session or all five. Ask
your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues
to support your commitment with a pledge.

2. PLEDGE: You don't have to participate to
support transformative change. Register to make
your pledge in solidarity with participants
and/or invite others to make a pledge. No
amount is too large or too small.

3. SIT: Grab your cushion or blanket
and SIT For Change. ALL are welcome to enjoy an
inspiring day of group meditation, yoga, music,
and spoken word.

Sitting is action!

Held on the International Day of
Peace and Fall Equinox,
SIT For Change is a
celebration and affirmation of the power of
Transformative Change: when work for a more
just, equitable and sustainable society is
championed by individuals and organizations that
cultivate compassion and presence as much as
they do strategies and campaigns, potential for
real transformation -- both personal and social
-- begins.
