12th International Nonviolence Summer Institute - The Full Experience

Participants and leaders of the 12th International Nonviolence Summer Institute

Thanks to a UC Diversity Council Diversity Investment Grant and Student Activities & Leadership Development, I was able to participate in the 12th International Nonviolence Summer Institute June 3-14, 2013, at the University of Rhode Island.

Throughout the Level I Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation certification process, I blogged daily to share my experience.  I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone interested in social change, social justice, and/or nonviolence attend - this institute helps bring all those together and prepare you to help people through a similar synthesis.

Here are the blog posts in chronological order:

• Overview (includes full list of learning outcomes for the institute)
• Inner Peace
• A Night on King, the Person
• Two is One
• King’s Six Principles of Nonviolence
• A Force More Powerful
• Pilgrimage
• Moving into Action
• Mighty Times
• Nonviolence is…
• The Roots of Ahimsa
• Gandhi and King
• Level I Assessment
• Restoring Our Spirits
• Moving into Effective Training
• Beloved Community Supper
• Jumping In
• Waging Peace
• Refining the Practice
• “Fate Comes Knocking”
• Unofficial Success
• Celebrating our Beloved Community
• Let’s Celebrate

I look forward to working with the RAPP Steering Committee throughout the summer to prepare our implementation plan for Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation training and supportive educational programming.
