An Invitation to Nonviolence: Exploring a New Story for Humanity
(1.5 HOUR INTRODUCTION)
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.

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.
