Alternatives To Violence Project Workshop-May 22-24, 2026-Austin

Eight SCYM Friends from Fort Worth Friends, Friends Meeting of San Antonio, and Friends Meeting of Austin (FMA) attended the workshop sponsored by FMA and AVP Texas. Friends report learning through the many experiential exercises and games in affirmation, communications, and cooperation while having fun. It was a chance to grow skills in nonviolence and build closer ties between Friends, essential for acting together to use nonviolence in our personal, meeting, and civic lives. The delicious meals and lovely hospitality at FMA helped us to share deeply and increase our ability to use the transforming power of nonviolence in this chaotic and challenging world. 
AVP Texas asks participants in this workshop and others who have experienced AVP in the past to talk about their experience and hopefully organize another workshop at the end of August 2026 somewhere in SCYM. Please contact Liz Yeats or Kevin King for more information.
