Given the situation of tension that has been generated, It is advisable that serenity and interiority become visible on the street, and especially in emblematic places. That's why, a group of entities call for a marathon of shared silence, open to everyone. (see updated news in this link)
Marathon in the Citadel Park
Let us meet without flags or emblems, above the noise of words and slogans that divide, united in silence, in an attitude of internalization, meditation, prayer, visualization or projection of the future, whatever everyone wants to call it. We are convinced that a persistent collective gesture that springs from the heart, and the force of well-focused thought, will help overcome the spiral of confrontation.

This peaceful expression will remain, in turns, as long as necessary.
Marathon everywhere
Not everyone can go to the park every day. We will start wherever we are tomorrow Sunday at 7:30 in the morning and again at 21:30, in meditation, in silent prayer. We will know that with us there will be many thousands spreading peace, from your home in Barcelona or in the smallest town in Catalonia, or in Auroville in India, who join us and to whom we are grateful from the heart.
Every day we will do the same, at 7:30 in the morning and at 21:30 of the night, fifteen minutes or more depending on preferences. Meditation of any kind, mindfulness, silent and collected prayer, gyoki, katsugen…
