Gandhi said it best: "[Nonviolence] is the greatest and the activist force in the world...It is a force which is more positive than electricity."

At the Center for Peacemaking, we believe that peacemakers are contemplative in thought and bold in action. With the right skills, no conflict is too big to resolve. Together, all dreams are possible to achieve.

Don't just take our word for it. Come experience how much fun it can be to build community and explore the power of nonviolence.
