Metta is growing. We are offering our first-ever weekend retreat for educators at Dillon Beach (west of Petaluma) on August 12-14, 2011. Over the course of the retreat you will have the opportunity to learn about nonviolence, explore challenging topics for educators from a nonviolence perspective (such as creating a nonviolent atmosphere in your classroom), network with other educators on the cutting-edge of nonviolence education, and build curricula, lesson plans and other activities to gear you up for the start of a new school year. This course is designed for all levels of education, including home-school. The cost for the weekend is $300, including lodging, meals and materials. Spaces are limited. If you want to register, please contact Stephanie (stephanie@mettacenter.org) today for an application.
