Study Nonviolence With World Renowned Nonviolence Scholar Michael Nagler of the Metta Center for Nonviolence
Beginning today, August 30, 2014
The Metta Center for Nonviolence will be holding a series of weekly online and in person courses on nonviolence modeled after Michael Nagler’s popular class at UC Berkeley.
It is an in-depth study of what M.K. Gandhi called “the greatest power at the disposal of humankind.” The greatest-and arguably, the most neglected. What can we learn from the theory, history and potential of this great force? How can we practice it safely and effectively? These and more are questions we will be looking into.
