About Daily Metta
Stephanie Van Hook, the Metta Center’s executive director, launched Daily Metta in 2015 as a way to share Gandhi’s spiritual wisdom and experiments with nonviolence.
Our 2016 Daily Metta continues with Gandhi on weekdays. On weekends, we share videos that complement Michael Nagler’s award-winning book, The Search for a Nonviolent Future: A Promise of Peace for Ourselves, Our Families, and Our World. To help readers engage with the book more deeply, the Metta Center offers a free PDF study guide.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?

What do you see as the difference between nonviolent conflict reconciliation (part of Kingian nonviolence) and restorative justice? In the Kingian nonviolence work in Rhode Island, children learn, in part, how to resolve conflicts and reconcile relationships to restore community. A problem-solving and restorative practice has replaced the in-school suspension. The children also learn about the concept of the Beloved Community, the principles of nonviolence, and how to use nonviolence to bring about change. What they learn, if applied, will do more than respond to crime, it will go a long way toward preventing crime.
