Free Gandhi workshop at PEACE Iowa
GANDHI, NONVIOLENCE, AND US
FRIDAY APRIL 25
6:30-8:45 p.m.
PEACE Iowa, Old Brick
Common Room (ground floor)
26 E. Market St., Iowa City
Facilitator: Chris Klug
Refreshments will be served.
Participants in this workshop will explore nonviolence as Gandhi understood and practiced it. They will be encouraged to consider how the practice of Gandhian nonviolence could change their ways of responding to the difficulties and conflicts of everyday life. Through experiential activities, participants will apply Gandhi’s philosophy to personal life and political activism. The workshop is designed for adults and high school students.
About the facilitator:
Working with the Gandhi Peace Foundation in New Delhi, Chris Klug has travelled to India more than a dozen times since 1983, leading groups to learn about Gandhi and nonviolence. He also has extensive experience with conflict resolution and violence prevention, including directing peace centers in Virginia and South Dakota. Chris is currently a grief counselor at Iowa City Hospice, and teaches Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction through the Department of Psychiatry at UIHC.
If you plan to attend this workshop (even if you're not sure), please RSVP to this and help us with planning the event.
