The Episcopal Peace Fellowship’s “Creating a Culture of Peace” (CCP) Nonviolence Training program provides experiential, spiritual, historical and practical approaches to teach and promote nonviolent alternatives for personal and social change. EPF collaborates with the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), a multi-faith justice and peace organization, to offer its model of nonviolence Basic Training and Facilitator Training – Creating a Culture of Peace. We are also indebted to the “From Violence to Wholeness” program, created by the Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service.

CCP nonviolence training is a holistic program to empower participants in the spirituality and practice of active peacemaking in their daily lives. Trained Facilitators utilize a highly participatory, popular education approach that respects and builds upon the wisdom, knowledge and experience of all participants. They vary the activities to include small group sharing, exercises and games, brainstorming, presentations, discussions, role-plays, music, movement, meditation, and journaling. With the help of trained facilitators, participants in CPM explore:
• The experience and dynamics of violence
• The experience and dynamics of active and creative nonviolence
• Nonviolent social change and commitment to action
• Building and sustaining community
• Practical planning for nonviolent action in daily life
