Pace e Bene

Program by Ken Butigan

Nowhere is the nonviolent life tested more than in our families.  The family is where we learn to deal with conflict in ways that are either effective or ineffective.  In this program, we will explore ways to strengthen our peacemaking skills within our families – skills that will come in handy in transforming our conflicts at home and in the larger world.
