At On Earth Peace, we believe in the power of Kingian Nonviolence (KNV) to create meaningful, lasting change. Rooted in the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this proven framework equips individuals and groups to address conflict, foster justice, and build communities grounded in peace. Whether you're new to the approach or ready to deepen your expertise, our training programs offer the tools and inspiration you need to take action.
A Philosophy and Methodology
Kingian Nonviolence is a philosophy and methodology—with knowledge, skills, and motivation people can use to apply peaceful strategies for solving personal and community problems.
The "Six Principles" of Kingian Nonviolence—the "will" of the discipline—provide the philosophy.
The "Six Steps" of Kingian Nonviolence—the “skill” of the practice—provide the method.
We implement the Kingian Nonviolence organizing curriculum developed by David Jehnsen and Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr.
