“Creating a Culture of Peace – Nonviolence Training for Personal and Social Change,” (CCP),
traveled to 36 states and Palestine, trained thousands of participants and 300 trainers, and was
adopted by national faith organizations and Veterans for Peace within its first four years. Janet
Chisholm, who established CCP at the Fellowship of Reconciliation, moved with the program to
Kirkridge Retreat Center in January 2007.

CCP emphasizes two forms of active nonviolence:
--Constructive Nonviolence is the way to change the status quo and create a just and
peaceful culture by developing new relationships, practices, and organizations. This
requires the majority of our time and effort.
--Nonviolent Resistance is designed to oppose injustice and oppression through actions
like petitions and rallies or even boycotts.

Both forms are enhanced by increasing the participation of ordinary people.

To attend, please register soon, as spaces are limited. There will be a requested donation of
$100.00 (sliding scale) to defray costs, including travel and compensation for the trainers, and for
meals and refreshments. If you are interested in attending but are limited in funds, please let us
know.
