Week 9: Harmony

Weekend Activities

1. Read Chapter 9, “From Mohandas to Mahatma”.

2. Reflect together: Gandhi said that his life was an “indivisible whole.” What does that mean to you? In what ways do you see harmony (or disharmony) between the various parts of your life? What do you want to work on? What is one thing you can do to constructively address that need for harmony among all areas of your life?

Practice Throughout the Week

Nonviolence can help everyone when we use it, because we are deeply interconnected: Harming others will harm ourselves, while helping others will help us too.

Talk about the power of nonviolence together this week. In doing so, try to apply some of the key ideas from Chapter 9 to a problem in your community or our shared world.
