As Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. have proven, social change through nonviolence is one of humanity’s most powerful forces.
Metta Center is offering a two-day workshop that will challenge participants to establish a deeper understanding of the role conflict plays in creative, action-oriented nonviolence.
Mica Stumpf and Peijman Kouretchian, nonviolence trainers at Metta Center, will guide you through understanding how nonviolence works, along with topics such as privilege, de-escalation and power dynamics in conflict. They will also discuss how these topics relate to recent protests.

Time: 12-1:30pm PST

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?
