Certificate Description: Transformative Nonviolence
The James Lawson Institute Academy for Nonviolence is a formation series for those who realize that our world is in need of transformation. We are inundated with the news of violence and injustice, and many have discovered that we all need to deepen our commitment to nonviolence and justice. The James Lawson Institute Academy for Nonviolence invites you to deepen your commitment to both. This journey begins with heart and hands open to change.
We believe that change occurs when we attend to three dimensions of experience: 1) the internal, 2) communal, and 3) systemic. The cultivation of nonviolence must be at the center of any path toward change.
