The Peace Pentagon

Welcome to our Retreat and Training Center

URI Peace Event

The Peace Pentagon is the heart of Oracle Campus. It serves as a retreat center for our educational programs, a temple for spiritual gatherings, a training center for sacred activism, and a community center for the Valley of Light.

The Peace Pentagon also serves as the U.S. headquarters for two global coalitions: Founding Mothers Movement and Earth Federation Movement. And it functions as a regional HUB for national and global nonprofits focused on women’s rights, democracy, social justice, and peacebuilding.

The Peace Pentagon was built to European Passivhaus® standards, resulting in an extremely low carbon footprint that exceeds the American LEED standard of construction. We are proud to offer this eco-spirituality center to the world, and we hope you will join us at an upcoming event!

“A Peace Room as Sophisticated as a War Room”

Evolution favors Freedom, Justice, Compassion, and Peace

Oracle built the Peace Pentagon as a beacon of light to challenge the destructive and dystopian worldview of the War Pentagon. We also confront the predatory ambitions of the global oligarchs and autocrats who perpetuate the Military Industrial Complex.

In 1984, futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard ran for Vice President to create a “Peace Room as sophisticated as a War Room.” While visiting the Peace Pentagon for a Building the New World Summit, Hubbard and Oracle founder Laura George realized they shared the same vision – to construct a peace HUB for the future of humanity.

Sacred Geometry of the Peace Pentagon

The Peace Pentagon employs sacred geometry based on the Golden Ratio and the numbers five and eleven. The exterior walls are 55 feet long (5 x 11), and the walls of the interior pentagonal chapel are 25 feet long (5 x 5).

The same sacred geometry was used for the Washington Monument, which is 55 feet wide at its base (5 x 11) – same as the Peace Pentagon – and the obelisk stands 555 feet tall (5 x 111).

In total, the Peace Pentagon contains FIVE pentagons, which further enhance its power:

• The exterior footprint is a pentagon
• The interior chapel is a pentagon
• The main classroom is located underneath and mirrors the pentagonal chapel
• The sanctuary skylight is a “pentamid” (5-sided pyramid)
• The pentacle appears in the stained-glass window of our symbol, the Violet of Venus

May the Peace Pentagon assist our collective journey into the Fifth Spiritual Paradigm.

In June 2012 at the end of a rare Venus transit, Oracle broke ground on the Peace Pentagon with the “100 Shovels Ceremony.”

Since then, many hands and hearts have contributed to this amazing structure, dedicated to the future of humanity and to Truth, Love, and Light:
