How Do We Live Nonviolence in Challenging Times?

When we witness suffering, injustice, and harm in the world around us, it can be difficult to know how to respond. We may long to contribute to change while also struggling to remain grounded, hopeful, and connected to what matters most.

For Kathleen Macferran, this question is deeply personal. This webinar grows out of her own struggle to find practical ways to face each day, respond to harm, and continue working toward communities where people can experience safety, dignity, and care.

Rather than treating nonviolence as an abstract ideal, this session invites us to explore what it can look like in our daily choices, relationships, and responses to the challenges we encounter.

Three Pillars of Nonviolence

During this free webinar, Kathleen will invite participants to explore the daily practice of focusing on three pillars of nonviolence.

Through this exploration, we will consider how these pillars can support us in finding hope, maintaining our grounding, and discovering a path through the challenges we face.

The invitation is to approach nonviolence not only as something we believe in, but as something we continually practice in the way we meet ourselves, one another, and the wider world.

Bringing Nonviolence into Everyday Life

Living nonviolence can become especially challenging when we encounter conflict, uncertainty, or situations in which people experience harm.

This gathering creates an opportunity to reflect on how we can remain connected to our values while taking meaningful steps toward the communities and relationships we want to help create.

Whether you are an educator, facilitator, community organizer, leader, parent, or someone seeking a more compassionate way to navigate daily life, this conversation offers space to reflect on what practicing nonviolence means to you.
