An Invitation to Nonviolence: Exploring a New Story for Humanity
In a world that can feel heavy with violence, injustice, and division, many of us are holding big feelings — anger, grief, overwhelm, and also the quiet hope that things could be different.
Nonviolence offers us a path to honor all of those feelings — and to respond to the world not with despair, but with courage, compassion, and a deep sense of connection.
This workshop is an introduction to nonviolence and The Third Harmony — a way of seeing and practicing nonviolence that begins within us, extends to how we relate to others, and guides how we act in the world.
Together, we’ll explore:
What is nonviolence — beyond protest or avoidance?
How do we meet anger, conflict, and harm without replicating violence?
How do we stay grounded and connected — even when things feel overwhelming?
Where do we look for signs of hope, resilience, and possibility?
This is a space to slow down, reconnect with what matters most, and practice nonviolence not just as an idea, but as a way of being — in ourselves, our relationships, and our movements for change.
Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here.
Additional dates are always being added! Check back here to see when out next screenings will be hosted. Each conversation explores in a different direction, so we invite you to attend as many as you’d like.
We’ll screen the 45-minute film together, and invite you to join us for an enriching conversation afterwards (up to 2 hours total in the event).

Cosmic Peaceforce, Mission: Harmony 3
Role-Play Game Development and Nonviolence Practice Group
Step into the universe of Cosmic Peaceforce, an original cooperative board game from the Metta Center for Nonviolence. In this pilot, small-group workshos—limited to five participants—practitioners of nonviolence will explore how the principles of nonviolence can be brought to life through play, role play, and storytelling.
The game invites you to join the Cosmic Peaceforce, a team dedicated to resolving conflicts, transforming challenges, and bringing communities into harmony. As part of this pilot experiment, we’ll be testing new ways to expand the game—adding imaginative scenarios, deeper reflection, and opportunities for role play—so that participants not only enjoy a collaborative and creative experience but also gain practical insights into nonviolent problem-solving.
Designed for practitioners who want to strengthen their skills and explore how playful experimentation can support the work of building a more peaceful world, these workshops offer a unique opportunity to engage deeply in the practice of nonviolence—together.
