One way of following up an Engage workshop is to form a Nonviolence Book or Movie Club.
For those who would like to be in an online book or movie club, we have provided a Nonviolence Book or Movie Club Forum.

A List of Books
The club, for example, could decide to read one book on creative nonviolence a month for a year. Of course, it could read fewer or more volumes — and meet as often, or as little, as it likes.
Below are 12 books suggested for offline or online Book Clubs. They are pegged for each month in 2006, offering the opportunity for many people to join in a growing conversation on specific texts. Of course, each group can decide to read whatever moves it – either on this list or not.
The following books can be found in many libraries and bookstores. For those who would like to purchase them online, they are available in the Pace e Bene Online store in partnership with Powell’s Books, an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon.
