Grailville to come together and to be with so many beautiful
like-minded people and such positive energy and ñ and light
spirit - itís ñ itís such a gift, and this has been, to me,

I got a confessionÖ >> Hi. My nameís Rowan Millson.
Iím from a little town called Greytown, about 140km from
Capetown, South Africa. I want to say, first of all,
Thank you to Anna and Mark. Wow! Iím just blown away by
what you guys have put together here.
Iíve had the most amazing, heart-opening, mind-expanding,
four days that I could possibly have imagined.
So thank you very much, and I look forward to October 20th
next year. My lips to Godís ear,
Iíll be back. >> Actually, it far exceeded my
expectations, especially the quality of everything: the
food, the yoga, and the heartfelt connections with all
the people that Iíve met. Iím just really happy to be
here. This is the best thing I could have done for myself and
how it continues to help me grow in what Iím bringing back
to my community. >> [singing]

>> My version of peace would be ultimate acceptance and
appreciation for harmony with nature, and I feel like this is
one of the most amazing demonstrations of that that
Iíve ever seen or been a part of, and so I feel very drawn to
this place. >> My goal here, I feel, is to
really shape and mold the world in the best and most fulfilling
compassionate way we ñ we can. So many activities that are
going on here. Like he said, with the food being served,

What are we fighting for? Why are we still at war?
Whereís the love? Whereís the love?
So many prayers, yeah, but whereís the prayer for peace?
My papa told me that we all must serve and feed.
What are we fighting for? Why are we still at war?
Whereís the love? Whereís the love?
So many gods but no love for the people.
So many gods, yeah, so many gods, yeah.

among so many other amazing presenters and participants
that have actually taught me just as much if not more during
my time here at the world peace jubilee.
And thatís really what ìbe the peace, be the changeî means,
that it stops being a singular teacher up at the front of the
room, but itís really a collective dialogue that is led
by everyone everywhere figuring out as many different great
ideas to bring a greater sense of peace and really jubilation,
joyful experience to this world.
[ìWe Can Live in Peaceî begins] >> Hope that you can make it.
If you do, you can meet Anna Ferguson and Mark Stroud, the
two amazing minds behind this. Theyíve worked tirelessly and
put so much thought and care into this, and it will infect
you, should you come. Thank you.
>> We hope that youíll join us, and we hope that you will see
that your life is a message. Like Gandhi said, when he
scrolled on a piece of paper when a reporter asked, ìDo you
have a message that I can take to the people?
And Gandhi wrote down ñ he said, ìMy life is my message.î
>> Thereís nothing more important than kindness.
As the Dalai Lama said, you can be any religion, or you can be
no religion, but the only religion that is important for
us to be is to be kind, is to embrace kindness as our
religion. If youíre kind to others, you
donít care what these biases that other people have are.
You donít care where theyíre from.
You donít care whatís going on. >> I feel this conference was
so great. Last year it was fantastic. This year it
accelerated. If this happens every year from now on,
I guess weíll be in heaven. >> If you believe that world
peace is possible, this ñ this is where it begins, coming
together and then going out and spreading the message.
Thank you. >> [singing]
So we can live in peace. Our wars have no place
in their streets. We can live in peace.
War has no place in me. No, no, no, no,
Not in you. No, no, no, no.
No, in me. We do not want no
wars any longer. No, we ñ we do not need
this inequality When you ñ you can agree
that love makes us stronger and we can live in peace.
Our wars have no place in any streets.
