Since 2019, faith leaders in Grand Junction, Colorado, have gathered under the sponsorship of the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) and the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) to build lasting bridges of interreligious understanding. Five years into their journey together, this dedicated cohort met virtually on Zoom for an intimate dialogue titled "An In-Depth Look at Our Spiritual Founders."

Nestled in a warm countryside Airbnb in Catskill, New York, nine women gathered from October 11–13, 2026, for a deeply restorative retreat titled "Deepening Sisterhood, Femininity, and Motherhood." Surrounded by cozy rustic decor and crisp autumn air, the intimate setting provided a safe sanctuary for participants to step back from daily demands, build unconditional trust, and explore their true identity as women and mothers.

Peace became more than an idea one Saturday afternoon as local residents, faith leaders and community members gathered Oct. 3 to talk, sing, share a meal—and literally cross a “Bridge of Peace.”

On a meaningful afternoon at the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center in Powell, Wyoming, a group of 12 educators, friends, and supporters gathered in the Simpson Moneta room with a shared vision: to turn historical memory into an engine for future peace.

On September 27, 2026, the autumn air was mild and gentle but inside for the Bridge of Peace hosted by WFWP Alabama, the atmosphere grew warmer by the minute. The gathering opened with a sweet performance by four children guided by young staff, singing “Your Way Is Better.”

Late summer and September proved to be an extraordinary season of heart, action, and connection for the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Hawaii chapter. From fond farewells along the shoreline to grassroots community service and international leadership, WFWP-HI members spent the month proving what it means to lead with love both at home and across the ocean.

When inclement weather threatened to rain out an outdoor gathering in Grand Junction, Colorado, the pastor of the local United Methodist Church opened her sanctuary doors without hesitation. Seventeen dedicated community members and faith leaders filed inside, setting the stage for a deeply moving International Day of Peace observance centered on a vital theme: "Standing Together for Religious Freedom."

Setting boundaries might sound simple on paper, but learning where you end and another person begins is a lifelong practice. Recently, an intimate group of 12 online participants gathered for a transformative virtual program titled "Self-Care Isn't Selfish," led by facilitator Kendra Stein.
