Description

Enjoy the Video: The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature and learn CLARA training for peaceful conversations The Third Harmony tells the story of nonviolence, the greatest overlooked resource in human experience. By revealing the convergence of modern science and the world's great wisdom traditions, the film explores the important role that nonviolence plays in the wider struggle to develop a "new story" of human nature, that, contrary to the "old story", scarcity, competition and violence are not inevitable. Rather the universe is conscious and purposeful; we are spiritual beings, and cooperation and collaboration are our natural way of interacting. See the video trailer at: https://vimeo.com/459116870 CLARA stands for Calm, Listen, Affirm, Respond, and Add. The CLARA Method helps you model compassionate, kind, empathic listening and communication to help de-escalate a situation and bring harmony.
