The Occupy Movements, the Wisconsin Uprising, Arab Spring and more

Mondays from 7pm to 9pm, January 23^rd through March 5^th
Many Ways of Peace, 217 S. Main St., downtown Eagle River

The inspiration for the series comes from the rise in nonviolent movements the past year, in Wisconsin and the United States, as well as around the world.  Learning about nonviolent theory and its practitioners provides us with greater insight into current movements and a deeper understanding of the skills nonviolent action requires.

The series is based on the book, Peace is the Way:  Writings on Nonviolence from the Fellowship of Reconciliation.   

The program will utilize the talking circle format to give each participant the opportunity to speak without interruption.

If the future is going to be different from the past,
if we’re going to leave a peaceful and healthy earth for our children,
it will be the ordinary people like us who will to do it…
not by becoming extraordinary,
but by discovering our greatest strength lies not in how much we differ from each other…
but how much, how very much, we are the same.  Eknath Easwaran
