Vision

Our vision until 2030 is, to establish a Peace Village in Switzerland, to facilitate cross-cultural exchange in form of conferences, retreats for yoga and spiritual practices from different traditions and artistic collaborations. This central village will pool participants from AZAHAR centers and partner organizations around the world and include professional training and a scholarship fund. It will act as a refugee for artists, spiritual leaders and peace activists who are lacking freedom of speech in their home countries. It will be environmentally friendly, largely self-sustaining, a sanctuary for animals and will house people from different generations.
