30 Days of Nonviolence
Make nonviolence a meaningful part of your daily life.
Nonviolence is the core of who we are. It is also a practice: a skill that we must intentionally cultivate in our daily lives. It’s like a muscle: the more we engage it, the stronger it becomes. And the more we can develop our nonviolent strengths, the more effective we can be with building peace in our homes, our workplaces, and our communities.
Your Instructor
The Metta Center for Nonviolence provides 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? The Metta Center holds special consultative status at the UN (Economic and Social Council).
