Peace & Nonviolence Education

When a person becomes more aware of what’s happening inside of them, they start to identify old energy patterns, where they are stuck, the belief systems holding them back and the false narratives they’re telling themselves which are no longer serving them; allowing new belief systems, life affirming choices and heart songs to emerge.

It’s only when a person gains self-awareness that they become aware of what’s happening within them. Then, they can begin to transmute stagnant energy into healing energy.

We motivate, inspire and encourage participants to consider how important inner peace is and why we need to deal with our own “stuff.”

It’s through the process of identifying, forgiving, eliminating or reducing pain and confusion that inner peace will start to radiate out to the rest of the world. Not only is the individual impacted through inner peace and healing, but the people and communities around them are also impacted. 

Yoga is an ancient practice which spans across civilizations and time with deep roots in India. Nonviolence activists like Mahatma Gandhi used yoga philosophy to lead a successful nonviolent resistance campaign in India, which inspired Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the U.S. civil rights and freedom movements. 

Human Rights and Civil rights activists like Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and Ambassador Andrew Young all practiced various pathways of yoga to help them heal and process the trauma, oppression and injustices in their lives.

We learn about some of the most influential and inspirational peace leaders and peace movements in history; and discover how practicing peace individually and teaching peace collectively can motivate us to change our thoughts, change our lives and serve our life’s purpose with empathy and grace.
