Creating a Culture of Peace ~ August 17-19, 2009 at Wellspring (arrive on the 16th after 6:30 pm)

Peacemaking is
possible
Do you want to replace violence with peace --- at home, in your school, in your community,
across our country and around the world?
Did you know that YOU have the power to make these changes? There is a program on the spirituality and practice of active nonviolence
that helps us discover our own power for change and that teaches peacemaking skills and principles. The training program is available nationwide.
It offers training to schools, civic organizations, veterans, congregations,
and other groups seeking peaceful personal and social change.
It is coming to Wellspring this August 17-19

The training is highly participatory and does not depend on reading a book or lectures. It draws upon the wisdom, experience and talents of all the participants and on the skills and knowledge of trainers. Mutual learning occurs through storytelling, meditation, small group sharing, brainstorming, role plays, thought-provoking exercises, music and movement. CCP offers training on nonviolence principles, analysis of social change and community-building, skills for peacemaking and resources. Every group chooses and plans concrete projects for change.

$395 includes room, meals and training
