Light the Way for Peace
First $5,000 Donated will be MATCHED!
A new world of compassion and cooperation is possible. Already, it exists in our hearts and minds, and many of us are working diligently to build it! Yet a piece of the puzzle is missing – the coordination and collaboration needed to manifest a Culture of Peace.
Want to Build a Peaceful World?
The Peace Pentagon is a training center for progressive and pluralistic programs, and a wisdom center that spans cultures and creeds. Located along the New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this 8,000 sq. ft. facility brings together people of good conscience, positive influence, and ACTION!

The Peace Pentagon is a direct answer to the War Pentagon. Here, thought leaders and truth seekers collaborate to promote social justice, spiritual unity, and global peace. One such program – the Peace Pentagon HUB – is a synergistic online platform for organizing and implementing national and global sacred activism.
Help “CROWN” the Peace Pentagon!
Over the years, many hands and hearts have worked diligently to complete the outside of this structure. Now she needs the generous donations of people just like you - people who crave wisdom, unity, and peace.
Currently, a single sheet of plexiglass protects the top of the Peace Pentagon, but this temporary solution is failing. We need to install the permanent Skylight – a critical element that will enhance the interior sacred space and enlighten all who visit our teaching campus.
Location of the pentagonal Skylight
The Peace Pentagon was designed to European PassivHaus standards – the highest green construction method in the world – and the Skylight will be made by Lamilux, a PassivHaus company. This video of a Lamilux skylight illustrates how our custom Skylight will be designed, created, and installed.
Deposit Already Made on the $25,000 Skylight
On the 4th of July - Independence Day – we made a $12,500 (50%) deposit on the Skylight with existing funds from our operating budget. With your help, we’ll raise the balance of $12,500 by the 18th Anniversary of 9/11, and then install the Skylight as an eternal symbol of Worldwide Peace and Spiritual Unity.
The Skylight will take approximately 2 months to design and build. If possible, we will schedule the installation for October 2, to commemorate the 150th Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948) – a true Avatar of Peace.
International peacebuilding event at the Peace Pentagon
After the Skylight is installed, Donors will be invited to a Rededication Ceremony, during which the sacred space in the Peace Pentagon will be cleansed and recommitted to the principle of Satyagraha (“Truth Force”) – Gandhi’s practice of nonviolent civil resistance.
Global Endorsements for the Peace Pentagon
Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard visited our campus and endorsed our work: “The Oracle Institute is building a HUB at the very center of the Wheel of Co-Creation, whose purpose is to build a new world based on what’s working. It will be a Peace Room as sophisticated as a War Room and a model that can be replicated anywhere in the world."

In addition, leaders from numerous charities and NGOs also have visited and endorsed the Peace Pentagon, including: U.N. Committee for Spirituality, Values, and Global Concerns; Earth Federation Movement; Poor People Economic Human Rights Campaign; and the Shift Network.

The World Needs a Peace Pentagon!
The world is on the brink of a major paradigm shift. Yet, it remains to be seen whether we are moving into a more utopian or dystopian future.
The Peace Pentagon was built to ensure a positive trajectory for humanity. And the Skylight is the apex of this amazing structure – a supernal spiral for manifesting Truth, Love, and Light.
