The first seating stones to be given to the Forum were from a forest in Finland, a coastal area of Estonia and from beneath an olive tree in Italy.
In December 2006, two hand stones were given to the Forum by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Since the project got underway in 2005, the first to actually complete its journey to Umbria was in fact a hand stone posted from London by Andrew Miller in December, 2006. He had brought it back from Tunisia to find its place in the Forum.

The Forum for Peace is a place where you can explore and discuss peace, or simply find quiet.
In the beautiful Umbrian countryside, you can debate with friends or discover your own journey to peace.
There isn't a religion, organisation or political group behind the Forum. Rather, it flows from a small group of individuals who believe in peace. This is a place which is available to anyone of any nationality, creed or belief. Our uniting factor is a commitment to peace.
