The 15th Annual Gandhi-King
Season for Nonviolence
Center for Spiritual Living
as an official Task Force,
joins with
The Association for Global New Thought
in the 15th Annual
Gandhi-King Season
for Nonviolence.
The Gandhi King Season for Nonviolence is a grassroots awareness campaign growing out of the passion and creative expression of spiritual and civic-minded individuals and communities worldwide. Our vision is of a world that works for everyone, carried forth by the proactive, life enhancing philosophy of nonviolent action as demonstrated by Mohandas K. Gandhi, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar E. Chavez.
2012 marks the 15th anniversary of this revolutionary initiative. The Season for Nonviolence (SNV) represents a successful new model called, "omni-local" conscious action: "Engaging large numbers of self-empowered leaders and groups in a collective intention, supplied with strategic sharable tools, adding their own local resources to work globally with singular purpose."
When SNV celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2007 with the "Gandhi King Peace Train and Living Legends of Nonviolence Conference," it was a landmark that put nonviolence on the map in this century. A new model for spiritually-based peace governance had emerged, igniting entire communities everywhere.
The Season for Nonviolence project has now evolved through our collective, exemplary leadership in more than 900 cities in all U.S. States and 67 countries during the past fifteen years.
The bookend memorial anniversaries of Gandhi (Jan 30) and Martin Luther King Jr. (April 4), and birthday of Cesar Chavez (March 31), bring us to the halfway point in our second decade of "Perennial Season," in which unwavering nonviolence in thought, emotion, word, and action has become our chosen way of life.
A Season for Nonviolence was co-founded by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence and a group of ten ministers forming the Leadership Council of The Association for Global New Thought, the organization that convenes A Season for Nonviolence on an annual basis. Its purpose: to focus educational and media attention on the philosophy of attaining peace through nonviolent action.
All these events, unless noted otherwise, will be held at
Center for Spiritual Living
1301 Beville Road, Daytona Beach
All events are offered for Love Offering
