✨ Samsara - Upcoming Exhibition Announcement, The Walk for Peace – A Journey of 2,300 Miles ✨

A powerful new exhibition is taking shape, created with devotion and artistic vision by Yana Dakota, who is building an immersive experience based on the extraordinary Walk for Peace, a pilgrimage completed by 19 monks and their loyal peace‑dog Aloka.
The exhibition is not open yet, it will officially open after the weeks of Popcorn Celebration, and after the International Event hosted by the AMV Grid in the upcoming weeks. The anticipation is already growing, and for good reason.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🌿 The Story Behind the Exhibition

The Walk for Peace was a journey unlike any other, beginning at the Vipassanā Meditation Centre in Fort Worth, Texas, and ending in Washington, D.C., a total of 2,300 miles on foot.
For 112 days, the monks walked with unwavering intention, some of them barefoot, crossing long stretches of land, weather, silence, and human encounters. Every step was a prayer, every mile a message, every sunrise a reminder of why they walked:
to carry peace across the land, one footstep at a time.
Beside them walked Aloka, the gentle peace‑dog, a symbol of loyalty, innocence, and the quiet strength that peace requires.
Their journey touched countless hearts, and now Yana Dakota is transforming that living pilgrimage into an exhibition that allows visitors to walk beside them, to feel the dust of the road, the rhythm of meditation, and the emotional depth of a journey shaped by devotion and endurance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🔮 What Awaits You

Although still under construction, the exhibition promises:
- immersive scenes from the pilgrimage,
- stories of the monks’ encounters and challenges,
- the spiritual rhythm of 112 days on foot,
- tributes to Aloka, the peace‑dog,
- and the emotional arc of a journey that began with intention and ended in transformation.
This will not be just an exhibition, it will be a pilgrimage you can step into, a living memory of peace carried across a continent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🎉 Opening After the Celebrations

The exhibition will open after the Popcorn Celebration weeks, and after the AMV International Event.
Prepare for a moving, inspiring, and unforgettable experience, brought to life through the artistry of Yana Dakota.
More details will follow soon, peace is on its way.
