On Saturday, September 20, 2025, in the heart of Times Square, we will gather for a sacred public offering in honor of the United Nations International Day of Peace. This year’s gathering is both timely and symbolic, serving as the official kickoff to New York Climate Week and aligned with the opening of the UN General Assembly, when global attention turns toward the urgent work of healing our planet.
Presented by OMMM, the concert runs from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM ET, with the OMMM-curated segment opening the event from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM ET. Though this is only our third year curating the Peace Day celebration, the event itself marks its 23rd year in Times Square, and is part of our growing commitment to weaving sacred intention into some of the world’s most visible spaces. We have also produced two Earth Day concerts in Times Square, each elevating messages of regeneration, consciousness, and inner transformation through sound and presence.
In a world increasingly shaped by polarization, acceleration, and external noise, we believe the most radical act of change is to return inward. To remember that the quality of our inner state is the foundation for everything we create externally. That how we speak, lead, consume, connect, and care, all originate from the still point within. This year’s theme, Peace Starts Within, is a sacred reminder that outer peace cannot be legislated into existence. It must be cultivated, one breath, one body, one being at a time.
