Noncooperation is fundamental to the discipline of nonviolence. Approaching the process one step at a time allows us to grow and respect ourselves.

In stillness and silence we can learn to foster a connection to a more nuanced understanding of truth and love.

With meditation and training in nonviolence, we can learn how to channel difficult feelings into something more productive.

With silence, our spiritual being gets a chance to expand and help us to create profound change.

Instead of harshness and hardening our hearts, softening and embracing sensitivity requires the strength of vulnerability.

Growing consciousness does not happen by accident or by magic. It takes work, and a daily decision to be an agent of change.

Digging deep is more important so that we can do the more profound work of not trying to fix things, but to heal instead.

Not all conflict is negative. Understanding this can help us overcome fear and consciously choose to pursue constructive outcomes.

Making a difference is not about big acts of heroism, but about waking up to our individual and collective power.

Change is the only constant, so creating change of one’s own is actually an act of oneness with the world around us.
