Goals of the Course:
Healing Ourselves, Healing Our Community is a 6-week online course that takes our nonviolence practice deeper. Facilitated by Veronica Pelicaric and Rivera Sun, the course will focus on the many types of inner work that support us as we use nonviolence in our daily lives and in the wider community. Participants will explore mindfulness, communication and conflict methods, science and spirituality, community-building and more. Emphasis will be placed on cultivating the heart toward living nonviolence in tangible ways with ourselves, our community, and the world. Newcomers to nonviolence and previous course participants seeking to deepen their nonviolence practice are both welcome.
Course Connections: This course can be viewed as a "Level II" course following and deepening the Engaging Nonviolence Introductory Course or the Engaging Nonviolence Online Community Course. Newcomers are welcome, however.
Weekly Themes:
Session 1: The Heart of Nonviolence
Session 2: Being Nonviolence: Inner Work
Session 3: Paths of Nonviolence: Communication and Dialog
Session 4: Nonviolence In Community
Session 5: Nonviolence, Quantum, and Consciousness
Session 6: Nonviolence Is The New Story
Requirements: The course will be held on Zoom. Participants must have internet access, and microphone and video on their computer. Each week, participants will be expected to complete weekly readings/viewings and come prepared for group discussions online. Note: Our book Engaging Nonviolence is NOT required for this course.
Participants are strongly encouraged to invite friends and community members. Shared knowledge increases the power of active nonviolence in our communities!
