Now is the time to learn Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation and gain the skills needed to peacefully and effectively transform the seemingly endless violence in the world around us.
Kingian Nonviolence is a philosophy and methodology that provides the knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary for people to pursue peaceful strategies for solving personal and community problems. Often mistaken for being simply the absence of, or opposite of violence, nonviolence is a systemic framework of both conceptual principles and pragmatic strategies to reduce violence and promote positive peace at the personal, community, national and global levels.
The Kingian Nonviolence workshops are transformational experiences that have helped thousands of people from around the world understand the depth of the philosophy of nonviolence, and learn to begin to bring the practices into their lives and their work.
Incorporating aspects of role-plays, small group activities, readings, video presentations, mini-lectures, and discussions, we explore topics such as:
The definitions of violence and nonviolence
An analysis of the different types and levels of conflict, and how they escalate and deescalate
The history of the Civil Rights Movement and some of Dr. King’s philosophies
The principles (the will) Kingian Nonviolence, how to view and transform conflict
The steps (the skill) of Kingian Nonviolence, how to engage with conflict and organize a campaign
Whether you are an organizer working for social change, a teacher trying to change the culture of your school or simply an individual trying to deal with the conflicts in your personal life, each person will walk away from our workshops with new skills and a new perspective.
