64 Ways for 64 Days Guide to Practice Nonviolence The 64 Ways calendar was developed as an educa tional tool to introduce people to the values, principles and simple practice of non-violence as a way of life. It facilitates a daily practice by offering 64 basic things that anyone can do effortlessly. The first third of the calendar focuses on practicing non-violence within ourselves, the middle third guides readers in daily interactions with each other, and the last part illustrates how to become caring and contributing members of a diverse community. The calendar also contains inspirational quotes from dynamic leaders such as Gandhi, Dr. King, Black Elk, Maya Angelou, Cesar Chavez, Marianne Williamson, Thich Nhat Hanh and Eleanor Roosevelt.
