When Michael Nagler told a young friend that he was going to start a new think tank, he thought she’d be very impressed. Instead, she looked at him squarely and said, “We don’t need another think tank. We need a hope tank.” So we began hosting Hope Tanks, a gathering of friends seeking to deepen their nonviolence and challenge themselves to think differently about the greatest challenges the world faces–by uplifting the power of nonviolence to help us solve these crises. There is one rule in hope tank: everything is on the table, but we have to use nonviolence to solve the problem.
Are you interested in learning more?
Our next hope tank is dedicated to our Daily Metta readers. Want to talk about the content you’ve been taking in daily? We do!
Sunday, July 3 at 5 pm PST.
