Tuesday 26^th April. 
This seminar is aimed at anyone wanting to look at more peaceful ways of resolving conflict – whether it be at home or at work, in personal relationships or community or organizational settings.

Garry Hills is Secretary of Peace Partners, Incorporated (Southern Queensland) and has had extensive experience facilitating non-violence workshops for a wide range of groups including academics, high school students, child support workers and mixed audiences. Garry has been actively involved in a wide range of peace and justice issues including lobbying, demonstrating, publishing, organising and advocating.

This workshop asks the question: “must we accept that a violent world is inevitable and a peaceful one impossible?” and explores ways to break cycles of violence.
When confronted by violence, our instinctive reaction is normally fight or flight. But is there a ‘third way’? You’ve heard of ‘escalating violence’. Can there be ‘escalating peace’?
Are there ways to break cycles of violence without breaking people’s necks - other’s and our own?

In this interactive seminar:

• we will explore the experience of individuals who have put active non-violent solutions to the test and discovered the gentle power of The Third Way
• we will examine the logic, (or philosophy) which underpins non-violence, and
• we will experiment with some of the tried and tested methods and processes of non-violence.
