When you consider making the full-on commitment to living nonviolently, do you:

- Worry that in some situations you will compromise your own needs?
- Wonder if it's even possible?
- Struggle to trust yourself to have what it takes

I used to feel that way too. Now, after some years of being on this path, I feel more able to face life, to trust myself to work out difficult situations. I am more humble and confident.

I'd like to offer you hope that committing to nonviolence will expand - not limit - peace in your life.

After teaching Nonviolent Communication and studying the work of Gandhi and others, I know the immense power and promise it brings. I feel this deeply. Fiercely.

Using the 17 core commitments as a foundation of this program, we will explore:

- How to live nonviolently, no matter the circumstances.
- Balancing your commitment to nonviolence and freedom of choice each moment.
- The tensions that arise when we choose to commit to anything.
- How to create a living practice of sustaining the commitments.
- Developing ongoing support structures to improve your success.
