Episode 19: Michael Nagler - De-escalation of tensions as a path to peace and nonviolence in modern America.
Update: 2021-09-13
Description
In the exhaustive media coverage of the United States’ Presidential election, the American Shanti Sena (Peace Army) network hardly got a mention. That is because violence prevention is generally under-reported. Michael Nagler, veteran peace activist and educator, talks about what energizes grassroots efforts that make peace by de-escalating tensions and preventing violence. From the legacy of his guru Sri Eknath Easwaran to the work of groups like Nonviolent Peaceforce, Michael explains how a new story of human nature is taking shape and why nonviolence is the natural destiny of our species. He also talks about his documentary ‘The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature’.
