Encouraging indications of how we arrive at our natural birthright as a collaborative and cooperative species.
Martin Luther King said we do not really have a choice any more between violence and nonviolence; our only choice is between “nonviolence or nonexistence.” In this and other sessions of our summit we have looked at recent developments particularly in the form of new institutions that can chalk out a nonviolent future for humanity.

- 'Marilyn King' is a two-time Olympian in the grueling five event Pentathlon. Her 20-year athletic career includes five national titles and a World Record. An automobile accident in 1979 rendered her unable to train physically for her third Olympic Team. Using only mental training techniques for seven months, she placed second at the Olympic trials for the 1980 Moscow Games. This extraordinary experience led to a 38 year career as an expert in the field of exceptional human performance. Marilyn’s participation in an international, five-year think tank on the role of business in the 21st Century led to a career that includes conducting programs for senior executives with global responsibilities at Fortune 500 companies. Her commitment to youth and peace resulted in presentations at over 200 national and international education conferences with academicians and researchers who are designing the schools of the future. Her most pioneering work, a joint Russian-American venture called “The Peace Team” prompted two invitations to speak at the United Nations.
- Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, a global community at the intersection of technology, volunteerism and gift-economy. Most recently, ServiceSpace's pandemic response has showcased the unique beauty of its global ecosystem. Nipun has catalyzed a global social movement of community builders grounded in their localities and rooted in practices for cultivating love, nonviolence, selfless service, and compassion. The ecosystem has reached millions, attracted thousands of volunteers, and mushroomed into numerous community-based service projects as well as inspiring content portals. ServiceSpace harnesses the collective power of networks and our deeper interconnectedness to create a distributed social movement founded on small, local individual acts of kindness, generosity and service that ignite shifts in individual and collective consciousness. Nipun was honored as an "unsung hero of compassion" by the Dalai Lama, not long before former U.S. President Obama appointed him to a council for addressing poverty and inequality in the US. Yet the core of what strikes anyone who meets him is the way his life is an attempt to bring smiles in the world and silence in his heart: "I want to live simply, love purely, and give fearlessly. That's me."
