KINGIAN NONVIOLENCE CONFLICT RECONCILIATION 

16-HOUR CORE TRAINING 

May 20-21 and May 27-28, 2023

Come and join us in May for a transformational month exploring Dr. King's philosophy and methodology of nonviolence. This workshop has helped thousands of people in various social justice movements, prisons, schools, and other communities understand the depth of the philosophy of nonviolence and conflict reconciliation.

If you are a faith leader preaching and leading for justice and peace, an organizer working for social change, an activist working to reduce violence in your community, a youth worker/organizer, or just someone who wants to learn how to resolve their personal conflicts better, this workshop is for you! If you have attended a 2-Hour Intro to Kingian Nonviolence at On Earth Peace or come to any of our events, this is a perfect next step to deepen your Kingian practice!

Facilitation Team:

Emilie Pujol is Social Movement Culture and Leadership & Training Lead at Animal Think Tank, a non-profit currently building a nonviolent social movement for Animal Freedom in the UK. She has been an animal rights and climate justice advocate for a decade, touching on all aspects of activist life from building campaigns, organising events, designing actions, to training others in nonviolent direct action. Today she is concerned with how to support activists to build strong and resilient groups, navigate conflicts in transformative ways. She is a fierce believer in the power of nonviolence to change the world for the better.

Peter Digitale Anderson is the Director of Formation at Peace Catalyst International. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Peter regularly leads workshops and coaches peacebuilders in conflict transformation, nonviolence, and social change. In the Twin Cities, he is focused on catalyzing people to get involved in the work of racial healing and justice, ranging from internal growth and accountability to wide-scale social change. Peter is inspired by the way Kingian Nonviolence offers both a moral and spiritual foundation as well as practical skills for healing and transforming society.
