Workshop Evaluations

NONVIOLENT PEACEMAKING RETREAT : "This is going to change everything in my life."

NONVIOLENT PEACEMAKING RETREAT: "I hadn’t expected to come away thinking about conflict inside organisations and networks in which I am involved and how that conflict could be more constructive and helpful rather than being a difficulty... starting to work through this will be really important."

ENGAGE FACILITATOR TRAINING: "Thank you for a thorough hands-on approach to nonviolence and the Pace e Bene experience. I am blessed to have been able to be part of the time. I still ponder and reflect on the insights over the weekend. I am attempting to spread the insight to many colleagues I encounter."

ENGAGE FACILITATOR TRAINING: "It was one the most powerful, positive, actively peace-making experiences I have had in a very long time."

ENGAGE FACILITATOR TRAINING: "I learnt heaps both as a facilitator (useful in any adult ed setting) & as a new person to the nonviolent way of Jesus. Overall a brilliant weekend, I was kept in my discomfort zone most of the weekend & was only alarmed a little on the Wednesday night at some comments made by participants. By the end of the time together I felt closer to those 2 than i could have ever expected on the Wednesday."
