Host Timothy Regan welcomes 3 international pratitioners of Nonviolent Global Liberation (NGL).

We together explore the possibility of applying the life-saving and life-serving principles of Nonviolence to systems all around us.  This episode takes us beyond the usual interpersonal skills that are so often associated with Nonviolent Communication, and toward the evolution of unjust and destructive systems with truth, courage, collective power, and love.
