Welcome to the Pacific North West Human Values Festival!
Join us for a joyful, family-centered celebration of the five universal human values: Love, Truth, Right Action, Peace, and Non-Violence.
Through engaging activities, mindful experiences, creative arts, games, music, and service, we aim to inspire positivity, invite people of all ages to discover, practice, and celebrate the values that unite us, fostering compassion, character, and harmony in our communities.
Presented by the Sri Sathya Sai International Organization, the Pacific North West Human Values Festival is free and open to everyone, and is lovingly offered as a gift to our community.
