Training and Retreat in Nonviolent

(Compassionate) Communication for Men

Thursday, 29 March 2012 at 17:00 until Saturday, 31 March 2012 at 18:00
Hosted by EcoME Centre, Dead Sea region
Trainer: Shantigarbha (www.SeedofPeace.org)
        

Following the success of the 9-day residential training over the New Year, Shantigarbha is returning to EcoME to run a workshop specifically for Israeli and Palestinian men.

How do we create peace within ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world? This will be a rare opportunity to experience openly listening and sharing each other’s difficulties and joys in ways that bring us into deeper connection with each other and ourselves, and open up possibilities for new ways of living together.

Nonviolent (Compassionate) Communication offers a vision, a consciousness and concrete skills to create relationships and community where everyone’s needs are valued. At this training we will work on our communication skills within our own families and communities and among ourselves. We will gather at the EcoME Centre on the Almog /Jericho Junction in the Dead Sea region. In this simple camping set up, we will learn together and create community. Itamar from the EcoME community will lead an activity in the desert. We are planning to limit the number of participants to 30 to support personal connections in the group. The retreat will be in English, Arabic and Hebrew.

Location: EcoME Centre – Almog /Jericho Junction. Area accessible to Israelis and Palestinians. Conditions are basic: participants will need to bring own sleeping bag, towels etc.

Cost: Over 21 years of age: 300-500 NIS (give as you can afford); Under 21: 100-200 NIS. This will enable us to cover our expenses and offer scholarships. Please ask us for a scholarship if you need one to participate.
