Gandhi Center

The Mahatma Gandhi Center for Global Nonviolence promotes the insights and practices of Being the Change You Want to See in the World by functioning as a local and global hub to advance the understanding of justice and nonviolence through individual and collaborative endeavors.

The Gandhi Center prioritizes JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) in education, scholarship, and engagement.

Core values:

• Respect (for life and its myriad forms)
• Reconciliation (for those in struggle)
• Restoration (of the social and spiritual health of diverse communities)

Things are quiet around the Center over the summer but we did just successfully pilot the first Latin American and Spanish Dance Group. Special thanks to Sylvia Whitney Beitzel & Lisa Porter for all of your hard work on this program!
