Peacelights and We, The World partnered to offer Focus: Peace, a series of daily tele-seminar phone calls from December 7 to December 21, 2012. Every day we gathered virtually for a short 20 minutes to meditate together and be the peace we wish to see in the world. Calls began with a 10 minutes teaching by some of the most amazing writers, teachers and peace makers of our time, followed by a 5 minutes meditation on peace, and prayers for peace in our planet. Featured speakers were:
- Rev Deborah Moldow, World Peace Prayer Society’s UN Representative
- Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute
- Swami Dayamrita Chaitanya, Director of Amma's Center of North America
- Joumana Rizk, founder and directress of Peacelights

Inspired by the words of Amma, the revered humanitarian and spiritual teacher from India, Focus: Peace aimed to bring together like minded people to usher in a new era of peace and co-creation.
