Drum Circle for Peace in Stekene, Belgium

14/06/2026

It was a radiant afternoon, and the weather spirits were truly on our side. Under a beautiful sky, people came together in a spirit of connection, with open hearts and a shared intention to send peace, respect, and harmony out into the world.

The sound of the drums united us in one rhythm. For a moment, differences faded away, and a sense of oneness emerged, connecting us with one another, with Mother Earth, and with all living beings.

The Peace Drum has fulfilled its very first mission. During this special ceremony, we symbolically cut the umbilical cord and gave her the freedom to follow her own path. From this day forward, she will travel from place to place, from heart to heart, carrying a message of peace, connection, and hope.

We would like to thank everyone who joined us, drummed, sang, listened, helped, or simply shared their presence. Together, we created something truly meaningful that will continue to resonate long after this day has passed.

A special thank you goes to Jelle Franken for this wonderful impression of the day. More photos and memories will be shared in the coming days.

This was not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful journey for the Peace Drum. May her sound touch and inspire many people wherever her path may lead, carrying the spirit of peace far and wide.
