Noted author Victor Villaseñor had a vision from his grandmother come to him one night in a dream. In that dream, his grandmother instructed him to promote a vision for world peace by gathering people together like snow geese who have flocked together in unison and harmony for over 20 million years. In 1992 Villaseñor manifested his vision for world peace by creating Snow Goose Global Thanksgiving Celebration of Peace and Harmony.
Scheduled each year for the Sunday before Thanksgiving, it is a day for people to put aside their political, racial, and socio-economic differences and to come together with a sense of community. The first Global Thanksgiving was celebrated in Spain with only 70 people in attendance. The second was celebrated at Plymouth Rock. Since then the Snow Goose Global Thanksgiving Celebration of Peace and Harmony has been celebrated at the Rancho Villaseñor in Oceanside, California and several other cities across the United States. The Snow Goose Global Thanksgiving Celebration of Peace and Harmony is open to all. Participants are asked to bring a food dish to share with others. The Snow Goose Celebration of Peace and Harmony serves as a kickoff to the holiday season, and as a reminder that their family and local communities are but microcosm of the global community. We are responsible for the tenor we bring to one another and the world.
