Peace is achieved through the active cultivation of inner and communal connectedness as well as through the study and practice of Baha'i principles.

The talk contains many gems that are worth reflecting on and revisiting!

The text is a monthly newsletter from the Baha'i Blog that focuses on the theme of peace. It recommends the keynote address by Shahriar Razavi at the 2026 Association for Baha'i Studies in North America conference, which deals with the practice of peace at all levels. In addition, an animation by the Bright Moon Trust is presented, which thematizes the connection between the well-being of the individual and that of the community. Two guided meditations by Roy Steiner on unity and hope are promoted as means to inner peace. The author emphasizes appreciation for the diversity of content and voices on the platform.

The following is our monthly newsletter. You can get a copy sent directly to your inbox! Hi friends!! Here’s our round-up of the previous month! If you haven’t already, I recommend watching the keynote address at the 2026 conference for the Association for Baha’i Studies for North America. Delivered by member of the Universal House of Justice, Mr Shahriar Razavi, the talk is about serving as a true practitioner of peace, and it contains many reflections and insights on what peace means at all levels. The lecture contains many gems well worth mulling over and revisiting! In the previous Baha’i month, we also shared a short but sweet animation by Bright Moon Trust, a Baha’i-inspired funding agency focused on First Nations peoples in Northern Australia. The video explores the principle that the welfare of each of us is bound up with the welfare of all. Moving from peace in the community to inner-peace within the individual, we also promoted two guided meditations led by Roy Steiner, one on the topic of oneness , and the other on hope . I very much appreciate how they draw upon images and quotations from the Baha’i Writings. These meditations have been produced by our sister-channel, Baha’i Inspired , and I encourage you to find a quiet moment to enjoy them. While they are available on YouTube , you can also find them on Spotify . I am perpetually delighted that Baha’i Blog both makes its own content and highlights the work of others. I believe that mix of voices and perspectives of various creators makes Bahaiblog.net a real treasure trove. And while we typically use our newsletter to unabashedly promote our own videos and audio over those made by others, I really wanted to draw your attention first to Mr. Razavi’s talk, Bright Moon Trust’s recent animation, and the guided meditations. What we shared in the last month that was made in-house is not as strongly linked to the theme of peace, but I hope you’ll still enjoy them! Tahirih Lemon shared with us about her new children’s book, What Makes Abdu’l-Baha Special , and Naysan chatted with Mateen and Jason about their podcast, Elevated Convo . We released more episodes of the Baha’i Stories Podcast and published fresh Studio Sessions, such as “Radiant Heart” from Edinburgh . Although nothing could be more in-house than a Studio Session where the producer moves from behind the camera to sing in front of it–and to sing a cover, no less! In last week’s release, Jordan sang “Nightingale of Affection”. Roya Bennett composed and performed the original song as a Studio Session almost an entire decade ago. I hope you enjoy both renditions. Without further ado, here’s Jordan Raj: Wishing you a peaceful month of Izzat! Love, Sonjel
