Nonviolence Training

Walking the Way of Nonviolence" is a Kingian Nonviolence Training Program that we will have here at the Franciscan Renewal Center on October 9 & 10.
If you are wondering WHAT is Kingian Nonviolence like I did when I first heard of the phrase, it is a program in which you have an opportunity to learn from professional trainers on how to achieve personal and/or social change in the spirit of nonviolence.

There are 3 presenters who will do the training. I have met Mark Klym (pictured left above) and Nick Katkevich (pictured right above) both of whom are professional and well-trained in presenting this program on Nonviolence.
Although I have not met Lori LeChien, she is dedicated to healing social wounds such as youth incarceration and racism.
The leaders will present the 6 principles that Martin Luther King Jr. had developed and practiced. There will be small group activities during the 2 days so there will be time to discover different ways of thinking and how can the activities and principles be applied in your community, school or social life.

There is much violence in our world and the need for Nonviolence Training is so very needed. Our schools are no longer the "nonviolent" schools that we knew of long ago. Our world is no longer the "nonviolent" place that we knew of long ago.

This program can be a wonderful tool for high school teachers and principals, college students and faculty who face issues of violence regularly as they work with students who come to school with stories of violence in their homes and neighborhoods.

If you have time, this program will be a blessing for you if you have never taken a course or attended a program on nonviolence training. If any questions, don't hesitate to call me.
