Fleet Maull, PhD, is a meditation teacher, author, executive coach, and social activist known for his work in mindfulness, prison reform, and restorative justice. He is a senior teacher in both the Shambhala Buddhist tradition (as an Acharya) and the Zen Peacemaker Order (as a Roshi), having studied under many prominent masters. While serving a 14-year mandatory-minimum sentence for drug trafficking from 1985 to 1999, Maull founded the Prison Dharma Network (now Prison Mindfulness Institute), initiated the first inside prison hospice program, and led a daily meditation group for 14 years—transforming his incarceration into a path of spiritual awakening and service. The Prison Mindfulness Institute coordinates many projects including Path of Freedom, Books Behind Bars, and Mindful Justice.

“In the face of all this uncertainty, tragedy, and outright mess, it’s more important than ever to be aware, resilient, and ready to respond to life’s challenges as skillfully as we can.”

​

World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on a United Nations resolution calling for a worldwide week of interfaith harmony. The idea was proposed in 2010 by HM King Abdullah II and HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan. Scheduled annually for the first week of February, the week aims to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith.

​​

HM King Abdullah has long been known for his peace initiatives and when he introduced the idea for World Interfaith Harmony Week at the 65th UN General Assembly in New York he stated:

 

It is essential to resist forces of division that spread misunderstanding and mistrust especially among peoples of different religions. The fact is, humanity everywhere is bound together, not only by mutual interests, but by shared commandments to love God and neighbor; to love the good and neighbor. . . . we are proposing a special week, during which the world’s people, in their own places of worship, [can] express the teachings of their own faith about tolerance, respect for the other and peace.
