BUILDING DIVERSE AVP COMMUNITIES,  May 24, 25.

One-day, in-depth workshop.  Workshop Fee $45

Check in after 1 pm Thursday, May 24. Register for one extra day (5/24) plus the workshop fee.  Workshop takes place Friday, morning and afternoon. Min/ Max participants:  10/20

Facilitators: Work with four marketing-minded facilitators from across the country, who’ve “been there done that”…struggled…and are still learning how to get back up to succeed:  Carroll Boone, California; Kit Hanley, Maryland; Cheryl Sutton; AVP/USA PR Committee Chair, Iowa; Pat Hardy, California.

Description:  Want to find kindred, yet diverse spirits in your town to take and ultimately foster powerful AVP community workshops?

Secret:  It involves more than an email, a flyer or announcing them at a Quaker meeting.  Building an AVP community takes planning and sustained commitment, but what does that mean?  The AVPUSA Organizing Kit is a springboard but now discover what’s been tried and found to work…or not.  Come explore fresh ways to attract participants with AVP tools.  Tap into how to cultivate these diverse spirits--both before and after workshops.

You don’t have to do it all!  Bring a friend or even a team!  Find our how to start/restart an AVP community that feeds you, that is committed to shared leadership and shared responsibility, so you have fun being with others in  your AVP-based community.  Join in this interactive AVP-type learning experience.

Guarantee:  Take away a basket of do-able ideas, a rich network of AVP-community leaders and at least one new approach to recruitment or your money back.

Description “Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities” brings together people in conflict to work towards healing and reconciliation. Originally developed by Africans to rebuild ravaged communities in Rwanda and Burundi using AVP as a template, HROC focuses on transforming the traumatic effects of violence and war into an opportunity for peace and trust building, and ending the cycle of hatred and revenge. HROC facilitators have worked with rape survivors, ethnic and immigrant communities, at-risk youth and those with HIV+/AIDs. They create safe and supportive groups, which sustain peace building efforts.

NOTE: This Basic Training meets the pre-requirement for those people interested in taking the 2nd International HROC training for trainers in New York this spring, June 17 - 30^th, Stony Point Conference Center, Stony Point, New York.  For more information see http://aglifpt.org/.  Play the Icyizera Hope video and then go to the HROC page.

 Facilitators: Julei Korner, John Michaelis and Katherine Smith from Sydney Australia.

 Description: Donald Nathansen says “Shame is the doorway to heaven.” James Gilligan has found that shame underlies 90% of violent crime. Brene Brown’s research has informed us how shame and ignoring or covering shame limits our ability to develop relationships in our world.

 This newly developed Topic Advanced workshop is an opportunity to explore shame and how it impacts in our lives. It has grown from a ten-year exploration of shame and Restorative Justice by AVP facilitators in schools.
