Background

About the Program

Discover Peace Within is the theme of the Annual Day 2026 program organized by the Lake Washington Sai Center (LWSC). It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and explore the timeless wisdom that points us toward an inner stillness that is always present — waiting to be discovered.

The program draws on spiritual teachings, community dialogue, cultural performances, and personal reflection to create a space where participants of all backgrounds can explore what peace means to them — and how to carry it into daily life.

The Theme

In a world of constant noise and activity, the search for peace is universal. Yet true peace is not found outside — it is uncovered within. This program explores the practices, attitudes, and understanding that allow that inner peace to emerge and stabilize, regardless of external circumstances.

Contributions to this program — from speakers, performers, and writers — are all centered on this one living question: How do we discover peace within?

Who It Is For

The program is open to all — adults, youth, and families. Content is co-created by center volunteers, adult members, and Prema class students, reflecting the full breadth of our community's wisdom and creativity.

Broader Goals

This initiative is also a stepping stone toward a complete LWSC Center website and the Infinite Potential Institute platform. The technology and content structures we build here will grow to serve the broader center community for years to come.
