PDear Ann Marie,

I apologize for the delay in sending these photos of the CSLTV Peace Pole.

Below is some significant language that we would like to include if possible.

Our Peace Pole says the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth, in 6 languages: English, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, Mandarin and Vietnamese. We chose these languages as the most reflective of our Southwest Riverside County community. We also have these messages in English: May Peace Be in our Communities and May Peace Be in our Hearts.

The Peace Pole was planted near a large olive tree on the grounds of the Masonic Lodge in Temecula in October, 2023, where we lease office space and hold our services and events.  We’ve since added plants, mostly succulents, in the ground and in pots, some changes in the terrain, four directional sign posts (indicating where we are in the world relative to our world neighbors), many painted rocks, windchimes, a couple benches and other garden additions. All of the additions have been volunteer contributions to enhance the space around the Peace Pole.

A Peace Pole symbolizes our hopes for peace in our community, our country and the world. It reminds us to speak and act in the spirit of peace, harmony and love for we are all one with Divine Consciousness. The Center for Spiritual Living Temecula Valley (CSLTV) Peace Pole is dedicated to the ideal of Peace prevailing everywhere.

Our intention is to have this Peace Pole and what it stands for to be available to our community, to have a place to walk, relax, sit and contemplate the message of peace. It’s already listed on Google Maps and we are intending that the word will spread and that the community will come to visit this sacred space. 

May you and yours have a blessed and peaceful holiday season.
