David Wick and Irene Kai, co-founders of the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission, introduced the Oregon Peace Trail, a in-development statewide journey honoring people and places that embody the spirit of peace, justice, and compassion.

The Trail invites us to walk mindfully through Oregon’s landscapes and stories, reflecting on our shared humanity and the possibilities of living peace in action. Rooted in connection and community, the Oregon Peace Trail is both a path and a practice linking hearts, histories, and hopes for a more peaceful world.
