Larry Johnson will be on Don Olson’s show, with Kate Towle, on KFAI, 90.3 FM, June 6, 1-2, talking about peace literacy and the attached workshop June 21,22. This is not yet confirmed, but we hope to have Paul Chappell on, by phone, for part of the program.
Captain Paul Chappell is an Iraq veteran, member of the national VFP advisory, and has been here several times. In his writing and speaking, beginning with THE ART OF WAGING PEACE, he has brilliantly merged the best of West Point leadership training, with the nonviolence work of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and others. Peace Literacy is a developing curriculim, designed to be in used in schools at all levels, helping young people to be trained in the art of peacemaking, in the home, the school, the community, and the world.
There are still open slots in the free workshop, and more information on the curriculim at www.peaceliteracy.org. It may be used in total, or in part by anyone, but please come to the training. It will be magnificent.

Building on the work of many organizations
and individuals in our diverse Community,
join us on this journey of asking powerful
questions about our community’s strengths
and assets that will unite us in unforeseen
ways and bring into being the beauty of our
dreams using the tool of conversation.
We have everything we need to nurture a
positive and unified community and
transform Minneapolis by making the
possibilities we all envision a reality now.
Transformation always begins with a
conversation. Our diverse community can
provide the vision needed to make our
dreams a reality.
The way forward will emerge from the
conversation.
This Nonviolent Life: No Separation
Friday April 19, 2019
“The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. The world is part of our own self and we are a part of its suffering wholeness. Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing. And the deepest part of our separateness from creation lies in our forgetfulness of its sacred nature, which is also our own sacred nature.”
