🏠 Invitation to Join Us - Homecoming Walk in Fort Worth, TX (February 14, 2026)

We warmly invite everyone to join us for our homecoming walk in Fort Worth, Texas on February 14, 2026!

After departing Washington, DC by bus on February 12, we will arrive in Fort Worth downtown on February 14 at 8:00 AM.

From there, we will walk together approximately 6 miles from downtown Fort Worth back to Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center—our starting place and home of the Walk for Peace, where this peaceful 2,300-mile journey began.

This is a deeply meaningful moment—completing the full circle, returning home after 110 days of walking for peace.

Starting from Fort Worth downtown at around 8:00 AM on February 14, 2026, walking approximately 6 miles back to Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center (4717 E Rosedale St, Fort Worth, TX 76105)

📌 Peace Gathering:
Join us at Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center when we arrive home for a peace gathering to celebrate the completion of this journey

The exact starting location and detailed route will be updated later on our page and on the Live Map. Please keep an eye on our updates as we get closer to February 14.

We would be deeply honored to have you walk with us on this final homecoming walk and to share in the joy and gratitude of returning home.

Everyone is welcome. Please come celebrate peace with us.
May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨

Peace is in every step.

Peace is in every step.

🌺 Life doesn’t happen yesterday or tomorrow—it happens right here and now. In this breath. In this step. In this single, unrepeatable moment. When we finally stop running from the present and learn to rest in it with full awareness, we discover that we’ve been searching everywhere for the peace that has always been right here.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

How We Came to Be

We (Susan and Kelli) were living in Austin from 2007-2013 very involved in our careers, and yet our secret dream was to live on the land and create a small meditation retreat center. It was during this time that my dad died from a terrible type of dementia called Lewy Body disease. Shortly afterwards, my feisty 94 year old grandmother “Noble” passed away followed by Susan’s father after a lengthy battle with cancer. Not only was it a very tough period for both of us, it became apparent that the fleeting nature of this precious life was just the push needed to take a leap of faith.

The inheritance we received from our losses is the reason we were able to build this dream. We found the perfect spot in the Texas hill country, walking distance from the famous Eye of the Dog Art Center, a large intentional community of artists and musicians. We loved that the unique and very large main house when viewed from above, kind of resembled a Buddhist monastery. The acreage surrounding the house was a mixture of rolling hills, woods and scenic views: the perfect healing space we had been envisioning.

So we decided to go for it!

“We went by the “build it and they will come” business plan and invested our gift money into creating Dharma Ranch for the San Marcos and surrounding area truthseekers. It took 2 plus years of hard work clearing the land, building and remodeling to complete Dharma Ranch. What makes this place and creation truly special is all the love and support that our friends, family and community so freely offered to get this vision off the ground.
