Every year, the United Nations ‘International Day of Peace’ is observed around the world on 21 September. This day is devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace within and among all nations, and all people.
To that end, The Art of Living will create waves of happiness on International Day of Peace 2019 helping thousands to find sustainable inner peace and to live with less stress with the Happiness Program - a much needed shift in current times.

The Happiness Program will be taking place globally between 20-22 September, and Europewide with over 30 countries and 110+ cities simultaneously. This unique program will feature an exclusive and powerful live session online with none other than Ravi Shankar, Global Peace Ambassador, and founder of The Art of Living who has been sharing this wisdom around the world for over 40 years.

The Art of Living has already helped millions of people discover inner peace, with powerful techniques which remove stress from the body and mind - YOU are invited to be part of this global experience!
The cornerstone of the September initiative, offers participants Sudarshan KriyaTM, an evidence-based breathing and meditation practice that have been shown by independent research to significantly:
- Reduce clinical and & non-clinical anxiety
- Decrease stress hormones (showing a 56% reduction in serum cortisol)
- Reduce PTSD - Shares Brittany Potier, an entrepreneur who has gone through the training,
"Learning to manage my own mind and body through breathing practices has truly been the greatest gift. Practicing Sudarshan KriyaTM everyday has helped me heal past wounds, become more confident in myself and more aware of everything in my life so that I can be a better me.”
According to international program coordinator, Annelies Richmond, "There's never been a more relevant time for people to learn practical tools to feel more calm and peaceful, and interact with others in healthier ways. With all the stress and violence we see around us, it's important to have healthy ways to let go of stress, boost wellness, stay calm and move society forward."
The Happiness Program will take place 20-22 September 2019 in your city and feature a very special appearance live online with international peacemaker, meditation expert, humanitarian and founder of The Art of Living, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who started the program almost forty years ago.
