Components of the Program
Conflict - a natural response in life
Conflict often conjures up a negative image for people. The Weavers contend that conflict is a positive occurrence in the life of a community. Conflict is a sign of life, that people are alive, caring and thinking beings! Learning how to respond to conflict in a nonviolent manner encourages growth, freedom and a healthy balance within the group. Are you willing to challenge your own perceptions on conflict?
Culture - the hidden wealth
Each culture adds a richness of tradition, language and physical charisma to the community that can only be appreciated through shared experiences, dialogue and understanding. The "wealth" lies hidden beneath the surface. Are you willing to look deeper into your own culture and that of others to find the treasure that awaits you?
Nonviolence - building a culture of peace
The escalation of violence in our local and global world touches each of us. Local leaders, teachers, clergy, religious and parents are in search of new methods to effectively reduce the violence that intrudes into our daily lives. Many people realize that old styles of leadership prove to be ineffective today. Our diverse world demands fresh insights in learning how to work effectively with all people, promoting peaceful alternatives as a way of life. Are you willing to adopt life changes that will promote a culture of peace?
