The Caravan of Unity was a groundbreaking tour for peace and unity moving across the USA in September 2020.
Starting in the historic Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and culminating in Washington DC, the Caravan weaved its way from West to East, carrying a torch of hope and healing for this time of historic challenges.
The Caravan of Unity Across America and Around the World was the fulfilment of a vision that has been held since 2012, when the first U Day Festival happened in Chiang Mai Thailand.
Formally convened at the UN Tillman Chapel in October 2016 the “Road to 2020” led through many sacred sites and events around the world and the Caravan of Unity was the last leg of that long road, climaxing in Peace Weekend 2020 (September 19-21) before completing on the National Mall in Washington DC on September 28, 2020.
While the US Caravan moved from coast to coast, the European Caravan of Unity Europe was hosting events across that continent also culminating in Peace Weekend and the International Day of Peace (September 21). You can see more about the exciting Euro Caravan here https://caravanofunity.eu/
The Caravan Across America was a mixture of “in place” events with social distancing (safety first) supported by virtual broadcasts.
