About

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. (Buddha)

Our Group

We are a group of spiritual people, devoted to the principle of non-violence. We come together to focus on that inner light inside of us all and to be thankful for the existence of all.

We are a spiritual group open to everyone, with online meetings as our default.

Our Values

  • Peace
  • Integrity
  • Equality
  • Gratitude
  • Interdependence
  • Divinity in all

Our Activities

In addition to coming together for meetings, we also are involved in a number of activities which promote peace, from the development and sharing of educational resources, to workshops and demonstrations.

Tūruapō

My name in te reo Māori means, “dream” or “vision”. There is a long story to this, but suffice it to say here that this vision is one of peace.

I studied theology as an undergraduate and have five degrees, including a Master of Counselling. My life began in the Northern Hemisphere, but more than half of it has now been in the Southern Hemisphere - Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.

May all beings know peace!

Society of Peace

We are not of this world, but are redeemed out of it. Its ways, its customs, its worships, its weapons, we cannot follow. For we are come into the peaceable kingdom of Christ, where swords are beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks, and none shall hurt nor destroy. — George Fox, Epistle 203 (1659)
