The science of Nonviolence and the practical applications available to us.

Tom Eddington HR Day 548.png

One of the greatest breakthroughs in modern science, not only for its scientific interest but its practical applications, has been the pivot from a “Freudian” window onto human personality 𑁋 its weaknesses and dysfunctions 𑁋 to what turns out to be the inner core of our nature: our capacity for empathy, cooperation, and self-sacrifice.  And for learning.  We will present a representative sample of those encouraging new developments (rooted in ancient wisdom).

  • Michael Nagler is Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature, emeritus, at the University of California, Berkeley and teaches in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program he founded on that campus in the 1970’s. In addition to teaching at Berkeley he speaks frequently for media and the general public on issues of peace and nonviolence and does presentations around the world for the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation. Michael has written six books and contributes articles frequently to Tikkun, YES! magazine and many other progressive journals. He has consulted for the U.S. Institute of Peace and many organizations and projects dealing with nonviolence and world peace. Michael is the Founder/President of The The Metta Center for Nonviolence and Director of “The Third Harmony”.
  • Tom Eddington is an author, Executive Coach and Business Advisor, and Executive Producer of “The Third Harmony”. He holds an M.S. in Organization Dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania. As a scholar of nonviolence and Conscious Leadership, he is passionate about bringing this work into the world which he does through his coaching and advisory work, film and media projects and Board positions. He is the Managing Director of Eddington Advisory Services.
  • Nandita Das has acted in more than 40 feature films in 10 different languages. Her directorial debut in 2008 was Firaaq. She has been twice on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, among others. She has a master's degree in Social Work and is a strong advocate for social justice and human rights. She was conferred the 'Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters' by the French Government. Nandita was the Chairperson of the Children's Film Society and wrote a monthly column for 8 years in the Indian magazine, The Week. Manto,, Nandita's second directorial film premiered in 2018 at the Cannes Film Festival and can be watched on Netflix. Her first book 'Manto & I' chronicles her 6-year long journey of making the film. She has been a staunch supporter of the campaign, 'Dark Is Beautiful'. To further the conversation on diversity of skin tones, she produced a music video in 2019, called India’s Got Colour. During the lockdown, Nandita wrote, directed, produced and acted in a short film called, Listen to Her, that sheds light on the increase in domestic violence and overburden of work that women have been facing during the pandemic.
  • Douglas P. Fry is Professor and Chair of the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Dr. Fry earned his doctorate in anthropology from Indiana University in 1986. He has written extensively on aggression, conflict resolution, and war and peace. With Geneviève Souillac, he is currently researching how clusters of neighboring societies, peace systems, manage to live without war (see “Societies within peace systems avoid war and build positive intergroup relationships,” open access at: ::https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00692-8::). Nurturing Our Humanity, a recent book co-authored with Riane Eisler (2019,Oxford), argues that the path to human survival and well-being in the 21 st century hinges on our human capacities to cooperate and promote social equality, including gender equality. He also is the author of Beyond War (2007, Oxford), The Human Potential for Peace (2006, Oxford) and co-editor of Keeping the Peace: Conflict Resolution and Peaceful Societies Around the World (2004, Routledge) and Cultural Variation in Conflict Resolution: Alternatives to Violence (1997,Erlbaum). Douglas is the recipient of the 2015 Peace Scholar-Educator Award, of the Peace and Justice Studies Association.
