"Be the change you wish to see in the world." – Mohandas Gandhi.
The Season of Nonviolence is the 64 Days between the anniversary deaths of Mohandas Gandhi, 1/30, and Martin Luther King Jr. 4/4
In these turbulent times, how can we be at peace and contribute to lasting change? How do we respond with power and presence, rather than reacting with blame, self-righteousness, or helplessness?
Join us for a six-week journey into the practice and consciousness of nonviolence.
Who is it for?
There are no prerequisites for this training; an open heart, and a longing for connection and growth, are all that you need.
