Description
The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP), Ekoji Buddhist Sangha of Richmond, and Williamsburg Buddhist Sangha invite dharma practitioners from across the Commonwealth (Buddhists, Hindus, and others) for a day of connection, reflection, and public presence.

We with gather at Richmond Hill, share in a vegetarian lunch, then take a silent, meditative walk down to the lawn near the Virginia General Assembly building. The route is about a mile each way. This is not a protest, but a peaceful expression of our shared values.

Our hope is to document the event and inspire future conversations and action around the role of interfaith organizing and statewide advocacy. The purpose is to demonstrate that our dharma communities are present, connected, and committed to building a more just and compassionate Virginia.

Registration 
Please register and pay through the Virginia Interfaith Center.
