Throughout history, individuals and communities have used nonviolent resistance to confront violence and injustice and move towards liberation. The Buddha also taught us a pathway to liberation by confronting violence and injustice. And, throughout history, followers of the Buddhist path have always been engaged in the work for peace, justice and liberation.

Through dharma talks, meditations and small group activities, this workshop explores the intersection of the Buddhist teachings with the teachings of nonviolence and the work for justice. How can Buddhist teachings support the work of social change, and how can a commitment to justice strengthen our Buddhist practice?

Buddhist practitioners with no activist experience, activists with no Buddhist background and anyone in between are all encouraged to join us for this exploration!
