John Dear says we will reflect on where nonviolence challenges us; set concrete goals to make this a new year of nonviolence for ourselves and others; and outline steps to dig deeper in our practice of contemplative nonviolence in our day to day life and work. We will concentrate on nonviolence toward the creatures and Mother Earth and our participation this new year in the various grassroots movements for justice, disarmament and creation. We will use gospel text for Luke, where Jesus calls us to “put out into deep waters.” Join us! This Zoom session will start at 2:00 P.M. EST/11 A.M. PST, Friday, January 1; and last for one and a half to two hours. You may register online at http://www.beatitudescenter.org
