World Wheel: One woman's Quest for Peace.

Journey with Vijali on her global pilgrimage as she sculpts environmental stonework acupressure points circling the planet and develops community with her World Wheel, Global Peace through Art. This is the story of how one woman transforms a childhood of deprivation and aloneness into a love affair with the entire world. With an artist’s valuable insight, she urges us to find our own voice as she takes us to the far corners of the world, embracing the planet and its people as one family.
