[OSList] trainings on NON-VIOLENCE

[Frauke Godat]

Dear Birgitt,
Just in regards to your question around why focussing on non-violence, here
are some of my thoughts:

There have been internal and systemic conflicts within the Occupy and Real
Democracy movement throughout the world. I have written this blog article
about it in December (based on an article from The Future of Occupy blog):
http://streethostingberlin.posterous.com/occupy-camps-dealing-with-internal-and-system


Also, some of us from Art of Hosting Berlin have been attending 2 planning
meetings for an Occupy Berlin World Café/OpenSpace. Working together with
the calling team and communication there has been very much dominated by
anger, fear, control, violence (in language), and deep national trauma.

Transforming this energy non-violently into positive creation processes, I
find the most challenging at the moment...

Best,
Frauke
