The Season for Peace and Nonviolence is a 64-day period observed from January 30 to April 4, honoring the legacies of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These two leaders dedicated their lives to nonviolent resistance and social change, and during this season, we reflect on their teachings by practicing daily principles of peace, compassion, and understanding.
At Awakening Ways CSL, we are celebrating this season with daily inspirational emails from Rev. Elizabeth, offering thoughtful reflections and practices to bring more peace into our lives. If you’d like to receive these emails, simply email us at info@awakeningways.org and let us know!
Don’t miss the Joe Schwartz photography exhibit!
As part of the Season of Peace and Nonviolence, we invite you to a special photography exhibit featuring the work of Joe Schwartz. Known for his compassionate and deeply human approach, Schwartz spent decades capturing everyday people and quiet moments that reveal resilience, connection, and the light within diverse communities.
This intimate showing offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and experience photography that honors dignity, shared humanity, and the peaceful threads that connect us all.
Join us Saturday and Sunday, March 21st and 22nd from 1–3 PM at our center, 7350 El Camino Real, Suite 101 in Atascadero.

As part of our Season of Peace and Nonviolence, Awakening Ways CSL invites you to a special community movie night featuring Hidden Figures.
Join us for an inspiring evening as we follow the powerful true story of three brilliant African American women mathematicians who played vital roles at NASA during the early years of the space program. This uplifting film highlights courage, perseverance, friendship, and the impact of recognizing the brilliance within every person, themes that beautifully reflect our shared commitment to peace, dignity, and unity.
This is a wonderful opportunity to gather in community, enjoy a meaningful film, and reflect on the ways each of us contributes to positive change in the world.
