Food and Games
We'll play some connection games and share some snacks

- but if you can't, please come anyway!
Spread love and peace, bring your friends, mingle for informal intellectual discussions that will take place around the snack table. Practice nonviolence techniques with fellow enthusiasts. Practice communicating by role-playing when people react strongly against your nonviolent protesting.
We'll introduce our groups for 15 minutes.
Hear about how AVP works with prisoners, in our community, and throughout the world. Carroll recently returned from a trip to Nepal as a member of a Friends Peace Team that facilitated AVP workshops including Trauma Healing and has some interesting stories to tell. (If we ask really politely, maybe she will play the autoharp.)
Hear how Nonviolent Peaceforce San Diego supports the work of Nonviolent Peaceforce to spread the concept of Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping throughout the world. NP's peace teams are doing groundbreaking peace work in Mindanao, Philippines and south Sudan. NP San Diego also works to promote nonviolence in our community through workshops and partnering with other nonviolence organizations.
Learn about Nonviolent Communications (NVC) activities in San Diego and Southern California.
See the Peace Resource Center (PRC), the new "green" building they are in, and what has changed this past year.

Carpooling
If you would like a ride, or would enjoy giving a ride and sharing the trip with someone else, we are setting up a carpool.
To find someone to carpool with, you can either email me, John and I will look for someone in your area. (You can email me from the Members page above.)
Or, you can Post a message at the bottom on this page, and ask if anyone in the community wants to contact you to carpool, and indicate what part of the city you're wanting to carpool from. Go to this page: http://www.meetup.com/Nonviolence-Connections/events/129201492/
So far, we have one person who would like to carpool from the San Diego/Mission Valley/La Jolla area. Would you like to carpool with them? Please let me know and I can put you in touch.
