The Power of Nonviolence: A Dialogue between Michael Nagler and Kerstin Deibert

Kerstin Deibert
By: Kerstin Deibert

Gandhi called nonviolence “the most powerful force at the disposal of humanity” – this is a significant teaching at a time, when we are feeling the downward drive into chaos and violence in a world shaken by dominance and dividedness.

But how can nonviolence become more than just an inspiration from the past, exemplified by extraordinary leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Ghandi?

And what does the philosophy, science, and practice of Nonviolence teach us about social change and engaging in the world?

Join us for a personal conversation with Michael Nagler – a pioneer in the field of Peace and Conflict studies who has dedicated his life to the values of nonviolence and spiritual discovery.

Together we will explore the significance of nonviolence for the times we are living through and what it might mean to write a new story of human nature guided by the principles of nonviolence.
