We are living in turbulent times. But knowing how to solve problems can be the bridge to bringing change within your community.

Non-violent workshop

Do you wish you could resolve disputes peacefully with family, neighbors or co-workers? To speak up and say what you mean while reducing hostility? Now you can, with the Alternatives to Violence Project. In this fun, interactive AVP Conflict Resolution, Non-violent Workshop, make new friends and learn to spread peace while building healthy relationships with your family, at work, and in your community.

Around the United States and in almost 50 countries around the world, AVP offers experiential non-violent workshops that empower people to lead nonviolent lives through affirmation, respect, community building, cooperation and trust.

AVP’s fundamental belief is that there is a power for peace and good in everyone, and that this power has the ability to transform violence. The program is run by a team of trained facilitators who lead workshops at nonprofit groups, community centers, and prisons in New Jersey.

In this fun, interactive program, people can make new friends and learn the communication techniques needed to spread peace and build healthy relationships with
family, at work, and in our communities. As you may know, this approach originated in a prison in upstate New York back in 1975, and spread around the nation and the globe. Participants describe the workshops as life-changing experiences in which
they learn to relate to others in a deeply meaningful and respectful way. They enjoy making new friends and learning the communication techniques needed to spread peace and build healthy relationships with family, coworkers, and community. — E. Novek, AVP-NJ Coordinator

AVP will hold its next session January 18-20, 2019 at the Neptune City Community Center in Neptune City, NJ. This is a three-day commitment with a suggested voluntary donation of $50 to cover materials, lunch and snack. However, no one will be turned away for inability to pay.
