A Season for Nonviolence- 64 days practice beginning Jan 30

[crispini]

This looks really neat! Here are the practices from Week 1:

WEEK 1

Nonviolence begins with learning how to be less violent and more compassionate towards ourselves. We
learn by building the courage to speak and act with respect, honor and reverence for our own being.

Day 1 – COURAGE (Jan. 30)

Eleanor Roosevelt has urged, "You must do the things that you think you cannot do." Practicing these 64 Ways will
challenge you to do things that you think you cannot do. Today, light a candle and accept the courage to practice 64
Ways of living nonviolently.

Day 2 – SMILING (Jan. 31)

Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said, "If in our daily life we can smile…not only we, but everyone will profit from it.
This is the most basic kind of peace work." Today, share a smile with at least three people, knowing that your smile
contributes to peace.

Day 3 – APPRECIATION (Feb. 1)

Louise Hay says, "Praise yourself as much as you can…The love in our lives begins with us…Loving yourself will help
heal this planet." Write down 10 things that you appreciate about yourself. Read aloud what you have written.

Day 4 – CARING (Feb. 2)

According to Peter McWilliams, "Nonviolence toward the self is caring for oneself. It is what the Greeks call reverence
for the self." Real caring is not just what we say, but what we do. Make a list of at least five ways that you can take
better care of yourself. Practice at least one today.

Day 5 – BELIEVING (Feb. 3)

Author Wayne Dyer writes about the impact that our beliefs have on our daily lives. Today, believe that you have all
the resources to move your life in the direction of peace. Be aware of simple demonstrations of peaceful responses you
receive.

Day 6 SIMPLICITY (Feb. 4)

To simplify is to invite peacefulness. Think of three ways you can simplify your life and put at least one of them into
practice today.

Day 7 – EDUCATION (Feb. 5)
Knowledge strengthens your conviction and deepens your wisdom and understanding. Learn about the power of
nonviolence by educating yourself. Read or watch on a subject that relates to nonviolence. Learn about human rights,
diversity, ecology, history, and politics, forgiveness, spirituality, peace studies, biographies of heroes and more.

Thought this is something that some of this group might like to participate in. You can download the entire PDF via a link here:

1. A lovely effort to initiate under the influence of a newly centered Mars.

Thanks

Maybe it'll counteract do some degree, the progressed retro Mars in the Declaration of Independence chart.

We can only hope.
