Building the nonviolent community: a global dialogue

Please join the Metta Center for Nonviolence, the National Peace Academy, September 11th Families for a Peaceful Tomorrows, and individuals from around the globe for an inspiring evening of connection, conversation and relationship building as we engage with the paradigm shift “from aloneness to all-oneness” through the power of nonviolence. We will hear stories from participants of how the new paradigm thinking deepens the commitment to peace building, and work together to build strategy to take all of the various good projects in the “movement toward peace” to the next level.

The interactive discussion will invite everyone to contribute.  The dialogue will be structured to move from the largest frame – what is the “New Story” – to best practices for public participation, low-risk options for people to find solutions to some of the tough challenges facing us (“constructive program” work) and not-so-low-risk options (“Satyagraha”). Please bring your voice, your ideas, your passion, idealism and enthusiasm to what will be a very satisfying virtual gathering.

We invite you to review the following documents from the co-hosting organizations before the teleconference:
