Today we graduated our first AVP workshop of this year’s stay in Sakartvelo. There were 15 participants in all – I think more men then women. The group was made up of college students and young professionals: a very bright and challenging group. It’s often difficult to get people who are curious to learn, and possibly replicate exercises to become fully invested as participants. We were pleased that by our graduation today almost all of the participants had become full vested as participants and opened to the message of transforming power within each of us. They had come to understood that they had actually tapped into their own skills to solve problems non-violently. Many had come looking for a way to help others find a way to non-violent behavior without considering the violence in there own lives.
My personal leading to work for Peace is to help bring others to the understanding that the road to world Peace begins within each individual and radiates outward to our families, communities, countries, etc. I believe that before we can speak with integrity to others about making peace, we must begin to walk that path ourselves.
