Practicing Nonviolence

In these workshops, we look at violence and nonviolence toward oneself and others, and at working for social change.

Facilitator

Nick Mele began practicing nonviolence as a college student. He spent almost 30 years as a diplomat before retiring to devote himself full-time to building nonviolent alternatives to militarism. He was a founding staff member of the Nonviolent Peaceforce and has designed and facilitated nonviolent actions, gatherings, and trainings around the world. He is a co-founder of the Whatcom Peace & Justice Center and is currently working with Pax Christi International to build a campaign to abolish nuclear weapons in the United States.
