"It was a perfect union of spiritual travelers who were able to express their gratitude to Mt. Baldy and Mother Nature, to a multicultural gathering of pure expression of love and acceptance of all faiths, creating a point of light in the cosmos that will continue to shine on the mountain, in the sky around the world. A light that will attract even more seekers as even curiosity seekers are drawn to it just by the loving energy that continues to radiate on the mountain and in our hearts." |

"The World Peace Pilgrimage shines with hope for humanity and all who dwell on Earth. I was delighted to be a part of it and returned rejuvenated, fulfilled and excited to continue spreading the love and peace we generated on the mountain top back home in the mundane world around me. I think this is the real gift of the Pilgrimage: that we who attended returned with a sense that there are others out there doing what we are doing and that together, even in our different places on the planet, even from our different faith's perspectives, we are ONE in our intention to live in, create, activate and manifest WORLD PEACE."
