United Nations Days & Years Meditation Initiative
UN Year Meditation Outlines
The General Assembly of the United Nations often chooses more than one theme for observance in any particular year.
2013
Two themes are being observed in 2012:
- 2013: International Year of Water Cooperation
- 2013: International Year of Quinoa
Decades
At any given time several themes are observed in special Decades. These themes are shown on the UN Calendar.
Meditation Outlines
Suggested meditation outlines are available on this site for each of the International Year themes — please feel free to use these, adapt them, or develop your own meditations and prayers. For a variety of ways of using the suggested meditation outlines see the Participation in UN Days & Years Meditation Initiative section on this site. There are also Guidelines for those New to Meditation.
