FROM THE HEART
    "The Walk for Peace" - Perugia to Assisi

    During the week-end (11-12 October 2003) about 15 people from
    different cities of Italy met in Perugia, Italy to participate in the
    walk for peace from Perugia to Assisi and to share some periods of
    meditation and communion.

    We stayed in "Mater Gratiae," a center of hospitality of the Perugia
    diocese. On Saturday we had several periods of meditation and
    community life. On Sunday, after a session of chikung, meditation,
    breakfast, and Sunday mass, we participated in the walk for peace from
    Perugia to Assisi. It was a walk of about 24km for peace and non-violence.

    this event was conceived about 40 years ago by the non-violent
    philosopher Aldo Capitini and today it is organized by "Tavola della Pace."
    The organising committee is formed by Local Associations for peace,
    monks of the Sacred Convent of Assisi, Pax Christi, EMMAUS Italia,
    AGESCI and more.

    At the walk for peace we were about 300.000 people from different parts
    of the world, from different communities, associations and groups,
    representing all different ages, cultures, religions and backgrounds. It
    was beautiful! We participated in a very special event. I felt a deep
    communitarian sense in those two days.
