GandhiGuy Goes to India–Join the Peace Train!

As many of you know, I’ve been portraying Mahatma Gandhi in what I call ‘Soul Theater’, as my contribution to peace in the world.

I always open these portrayals up for questions from the audience, staying in character in my answers. This is always a time of great exploration of the questioners thoughts and feelings about peace in their life, as they ask "Mr. Gandhi" what his thoughts are on their often very personal question.

I’ve met hundreds of people at my portrayals, and so many have expressed their deep appreciation for the gift they’ve received during this participative theater experience.

Now, you can be in on a tremendously exciting journey I’m about to take: I’ve been invited to portray Mahatma Gandhi at the International Youth Peace Conference in Chandigarh, India, September 25th through October 1st!

I don’t know if you can imagine what a thrilling, and in some ways terrifying opportunity this is for me! I’m scheduled to begin the Festival with my portrayal, re-enacting an evening prayer meeting at Gandhi’s ashram on the subject of peace. Then, over the next three days of the Festival, I’ll be leading workshops each day on "Becoming Worthy of Peace".

Finally, on the last day of the Festival, I’ve been asked to lead the 500+ young students from all over the world on a march in Chandigarh for nuclear disarmement in India!

I’d like you to be there with me! My wonderful daughter, Lexy, is coming with me on this incredible journey, and we’d like to invite you to come along as well!

Here’s our plan: Each day we’ll be posting to this website from India, keeping you up to date on our journey, introducing you to the young peace activists from all over the world that we’ll be meeting, and letting you in on each step of our walk for peace over the entire length of our trip.

Here’s all you have to do: Come back to GandhiGuy.com and post your thoughts in response to our blogging. You can become a member now, and as we journey for peace in September and October, you’ll be right there with us, each step of the way!

Between now and the Festival, I’ll be keeping you up to speed on our preparations for this powerful, life-changing trip, and sharing with you my thoughts, feelings, trepidations and excitements!

Come join us as ‘Gandhi’ returns to India, and be part of a historic journey for peace in our lifetime!

In Deepest Appreciation and Peace,

Don and Lexy
