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.
This workshop offers:
A shared viewing of The Third Harmony: Discover how nonviolence is not just a tool for conflict resolution but a way of understanding our world and ourselves.
Engaging conversations: Reflect on the principles of nonviolence, such as courage, compassion, and interconnectedness, and discuss how they apply to today’s challenges.
Practical tools and resources: Take away inspiration and guidance to integrate nonviolence into your personal life and community.
“I think the only way to find out what we can do in a nonviolent way is to practice it. It’s hard, but it is the only way.” – Joan Baez
This workshop is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of nonviolence and consider its relevance in your own life and community.
All are welcome.
