Vision

Nonviolence is spreading throughout the world.  The Metta Center, through its visionary and innovative programs, is supporting the increasing number of people who find themselves in a position to offer nonviolence but have not yet learned how to use it safely and effectively in their situation.  By this direct support, and through general education, Metta plays a central role in shifting the prevailing paradigm to one of nonviolence.

Mission

The mission of Metta is to inspire, educate, and support the practice of nonviolence. We work with anyone who wants to understand and use nonviolence, with an emphasis on educators, activists, and the media.

The core value of Metta is to live by the principles we teach: unconditional respect for all persons, honesty in dealings with one another and those we serve, service, compassion, courage and wisdom.
