Practicing Nonviolence

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

Facilitator

He was a founding staff member of the Nonviolent Peaceforce and has designed and facilitated nonviolent actions, gatherings, and trainings around the world.
