 May 12 Compassion Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace


Attend Workshops this Week on Compassionate Living

We are very excited about a two workshops being held at the University of Louisville and facilitated by Seattle’s 
Ari Cowan, the Director of Can International Institute.  Please plan to attend one or both.

WE THE PEOPLE – Monday, the 14th of May

It’s a national election year and “We the People; Building Bridges to Compassionate Civic Participation
 http://www.spiritridgeinstitute.net/pgs/courses/wtp/2012-05-14-wtp.html

 is the antidote to election year dread. This is a multi-media workshop introducing a new approach to compassionate civic participation — one free of rancor, conflict and divisiveness. There is a heavy emphasis on practical tools. When this program was last conducted in Seattle, it not only got a rating of “Excellent,” a number of participants had tears of relief and hope at the end of the program. If you’re interested in our local and national civic discourse, this will be an excellent program to attend. It’s sponsored by CAN International, the University of Louisville Office of the Ombuds, the Partnership for a Compassionate Louisville, Interfaith Paths to Peace, and the Louisville League of Women Voters. You can get more information and register online. For questions, please contact Karen Porter at the University of Louisville.

COMPASSIONATE RESPONSES TO CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE — Tuesday and Wednesday, the 15th and 16th of May

The "Compassionate Responses to Conflict and Violence" workshop 
http://www.spiritridgeinstitute.net/pgs/courses/comp-resp/2012-05-15-cr.html
provides participants with information and concrete skills for effectively identifying, managing, and reducing conflict and violence. This professional workshop focuses on practical skills to defuse conflict, identify and reduce risk factors associated with violence, and to positively transform expressions of conflict and violence into positive manifestations of power. This is an ideal program for those in law enforcement, the courts, legal services, social services, education, and other professions that deal with conflict and violence.

The workshop is sponsored by CAN International, the University of Louisville Office of the Ombuds, the Partnership for a Compassionate Louisville, Interfaith Paths to Peace, and the Society for the Prevention of Aggressiveness and Violence Among Adolescents (SPAVA).
