Life Education Programs
WFWP Australia has local chapters in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. State level chapters embrace women of all ages, faiths, cultures and nationalities.
We work in partnership with WFWP Chapters worldwide, and local stakeholders to contribute towards educating with values through the following Life Education programs.
Melbourne Pasifika Festival and Charity Walk
Join us for our annual Pasifika Festival and Charity Walk, which raises funds to support our humanitarian service projects in the Pacific Islands.
Bring your friends and family and enjoy a fun day with food stalls, arts and crafts, and entertainment and fun activities organised by local Islands communities.
Way2Happines & Peacebuilding seminar series
With four face-2-face seminars held annually in Mount Waverley, Victoria, and four online advanced seminars, each builds on the previous and explores the moral, spiritual and methodological principles to foster the #way2happiness and peacebuilding.
Each seminar is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the philosophical principles of the founders of WFWP International, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon and her late husband the Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon. Explore a new model for peace building for oneself, one’s family and one’s community!

Faith Stories
Faith Stories is a forum providing a cultural perspective of women in their faith. The intent is to facilitate community connection by providing a panel of multicultural women faith leaders who share a deeper understanding of their faith and culture, resulting in a breakdown of barriers and unfounded stereotypes that hinder community cohesion.
Mindful Meditation Retreat
The annual Retreat offers an opportunity to learn about stress management, how to meditate, and guidance from mindfulness professionals on the theme, Your Peace of Mind - an opportunity to rest, relax, regenerate and start afresh.
The Retreat is open to both beginners and advanced meditators.
This event are held in partnership between the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) and the International Centre for Inner Peace and Happiness (Nisala Arana), and supported by the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU).
