This weekend marks the Global Mala ritual to celebrate world peace . Lucky for us, the hub of the international effort is right here in Los Angeles at the convention center.

Similar gatherings are taking place all over the world, and funds will be raised for organizations like Trees for the Future, War Child, and YouthAIDS. The event is organized around the Vedic astrological sacred cycle of 108 and on Saturday, you'll have an opportunity to complete 108 Surya Namaskars, chant 108 OMs, practice Laughing Yoga with Yogi Ramesh, take a class from Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, and Gurmukh, chant with Jai Uttal and Wah! as well as see a screening of Jeremy Piven’s documentary
"Journey of a Lifetime" about his trip to India.
