Conversations of Hope: Exploring Alternate Worlds
In this series of workshops hosted by Safoora Arbab, we will explore the multifaceted possibilities of the framework of nonviolence and how many of these possibilities are already being embodied and are becoming real. Instead of despair and destruction, which is all we hear in both social and mass media, this will be a space to get together and recognize emergent possibilities that offer hope for producing alternate worlds.

An Invitation to Nonviolence: Exploring a New Story for Humanity
What does it mean to live a life rooted in nonviolence? How can we challenge the stories of fear and division that shape our world and embrace a new story of courage, connection, and compassion?
In this three-hour online workshop, we’ll delve into these questions by exploring the transformative power of nonviolence and its dynamics. Together, we’ll watch The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature, a documentary that invites us to reimagine human nature and our capacity for peace.
Online: 9:30 am - 12:30 Pacific
The Way Out of No Way: Crafting a Nonviolent Solution to the Deep Crisis of Today
How can the power of nonviolence be applied to our crisis? What are criteria for a successful strategy? Where should we begin? How can we disseminate this background more broadly in order to organize a successful, constructive resistance and lay the groundwork for a new culture?
Join us for Michael Nagler’s next online course, The Way Out of No Way: Crafting a Nonviolent Solution to the Deep Crisis of Today, and explore these questions! This five-week online course is structured around The Nonviolence Handbook: A Guide for Practical Action. Participants should come away with a solid grounding in nonviolence, which Gandhi called “the greatest power mankind has been endowed with,” and at least the beginning of a strategic plan whereby this power can be applied to the serious problems of the day, wherever in the world they are occurring.
