Nonviolence Study Group

Nonviolence study group

WPJC is forming a nonviolence study group that will meet 12 times over the summer and fall. We will work through the book “Engage: Exploring Nonviolent Living: A Study Program for Learning, Practicing, and Experimenting with the Power of Creative Nonviolence to Transform Our Lives and the World."

After participating in the study group, participants can continue on with a training for active nonviolence trainers, which WPJC will host after our 12th session. This training will prepare you to facilitate public workshops on active nonviolence.

If you are someone with roots/futures in this region, and offering group trainings in the coming years is part of your path, we will strive to hold study group meetings at a time that works for you, and also schedule the training-for-trainers so that you can attend.

The group will likely meet for:
  • Three sessions in July
  • Four in August
  • Three sessions in September
  • Two sessions in October

​If you are interested in participating, please contact the study group facilitator, Neah Monteiro, to get started. Her email address is [email protected] and phone number is 360-734-0217.
