“Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is LOVE.” – MLK.
We live in a politically charged climate and dangerous times where religion, fragile relationships, and blind misunderstanding has become a powerful tool to divide people and communities.
In this interactive session we will talk about how our speech can heal or hurt, create joy or suffering, and determine our happiness.
WE WILL LEARN ABOUT
