Pace e Bene

Upcoming Event: March 12 - 13, 2010 - Building a Culture of Peace & Nonviolence

LR Berger in Camden, New Jersey on February 14th, 2009 for the Sacred Heart Gathering for Peace and Justice. A description of her workshop follows:

Remembering Who We Are: The Poetry of Living into Nonviolence This gathering will be an opportunity to taste and see. If violence is, as John Dear has said, “forgetting who we are,” nonviolence is a means for “re-membering” who and whose we are. We’ll deploy poems and stories and gesture to ground ourselves in the power and grace at the heart of creative, active, spirit-centered nonviolent being and doing. LR Berger works as NE Associate of Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service as educator, poet, and counselor working with victims and perpetrators of violence through Restorative Practices. Her collection of poems, The Unexpected Aviary, received the Jane Kenyon Award for Outstanding Book of Poetry. She is an advocate for the arts as means for social and personal transformation. Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service works around the world offering nonviolence education and formation programs.
