The AVP Bay Bridge Council is offering two different weekends of workshops! Is it time for you!
There is a lot of violence here in Oakland and the Bay Area, and in other places too. It hurts everyone who lives here and everyone who comes here, either directly or indirectly. What can we do to address this? AVP gives you tools to be a more powerful peacemaker and to build community. Our workshops use the shared experiences of participants, interactive exercises, games and role-plays to see beyond differences, to explore common ground and discover the power within ourselves to transform our lives and our community. AVP is a 35-year-old international non-profit that is working in communities, hundreds of US prisons and in many challenging parts of the world. Joins us in creating a more peaceful place to live! Leadership opportunities exist in community and prisons.
The dates for the Basic (Introductory) workshops are:
January 7th – 9th. Starts on Friday evening at 6pm until 9pm, then Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm both days.
or on:
February 4th, 5th and 12th. Same hours as above… but instead of Sunday… it’s two consecutive Saturdays.
The cost (donation) for a workshop is $35 – 125 sliding scale. No one is turned away due to the lack of funds.
Interested?
Contact Toby Laverty at avpbaybridge@gmail.com or call at 510-866-1224. I will need your full name, physical address, phone number and email address. Let me know which weekend works for you best. You may send a check made out to AVP, to c/o Toby Laverty, 5202 Foothill Blvd, Oakland, CA 94601.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
