Peace Circle®: Structure and Symbols
Peace Circle® parks combine meaningful symbolism with thoughtful design. Learn how each element—from the Central Peace Tree to the Circle of Guardians and the Heart, Head, and Hands lines—creates spaces that inspire peace, unity, and environmental care.
The Design of a Peace Circle® Park
Peace Circle® parks are thoughtfully designed to balance beauty, functionality, and symbolism. Each park includes:
-
Central Peace Tree: The heart of the park, symbolizing unity and resilience.
-
Circle of Guardians: Surrounding trees, honoring peacemakers and environmentalists.
-
ABC For Peace: Three Symbolic Lines:
-
Heart Line (A): Representing hope, love, and justice.
-
Head Line (B): Reflecting knowledge, science, and wisdom.
-
Hands Line (C): Emphasizing actions for life, balance, and diversity.
These lines connect the Circle of Guardians to the Central Peace Tree, forming the core values of every Peace Circle®.
-
-
Compact Design: Parks are 25 meters in diameter, making them adaptable to urban and rural settings.
The symbolism of Peace Circle® trees reflects two essential connections: humanity's relationship with the environment and the bonds we share with one another. The Central Peace Tree embodies the interdependence of all life, while the surrounding Circle of Guardians and ABC For Peace lines inspire care for both the natural world and human communities.
