What to Expect
Throughout this online program, you will be mentored in the philosophy and practice of nonviolence. All participants will apply the learning through their own projects, with project guidance available from the start of the program.
We will alternate between week-long intensives and self-experiment weeks, ensuring plenty of time to process/integrate material. For each intensive week, you will focus on a new resource and have at minimum one 30-minute 1-on-1 meeting with the Metta Center. In self-experiment weeks, you will explore links between personal nonviolence and taking meaningful, efficient action.
