Practical Nonviolence Workshop

April 5, 2008

Dorothy Jackson, Repairers of the Breach, facilitated the morning session in which she led participants through an exploration of the definitions of violence and how it progresses in individuals' lives.

"The opportunity to dialogue about peace and ending violence always brings hope."
