Internationally acclaimed peace-maker, Marshall
Rosenberg, PhD, will provide an evening workshop
entitled “Creating Peace on Earth” on Tuesday the 27th
of April at 7:00 pm at the Church of Religious Science
at 101 South Laurel Street in Ventura.
 
Ventura-based Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions (
www.c-p-r.net ) has invited Dr. Rosenberg to speak in
Ventura because of his vast experience facilitating
peaceful communication even in war-torn countries, and
his life commitment to world peace. The invitation was
also made in response to the growing desire in our
community for opportunities to learn skills for
creating peace in our homes and in our world.
 
Dr. Rosenberg is Founder and Director of Educational
Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication
(CNVC www.cnvc.org ). He has provided training and
initiated peace programs in a number of war-torn areas
including Rwanda , Burundi , Nigeria , Malaysia ,
Indonesia , Sri Lanka , Sierra Leone , the Middle East
, Colombia , Serbia , Croatia , and Northern Ireland .
In the former Yugoslavia , a CNVC team has trained
hundreds of teachers who have reached tens of
thousands of students from kindergarten through high
school. NVC has been officially recognized by the
government of Israel and is offered in many schools in
that country.
 
Dr. Rosenberg is also the author of Nonviolent
Communication: A Language of Life. He has taken up
where Gandhi, King, and other past visionary leaders
for peace left off. An internationally renowned
visionary himself, Rosenberg 's credentials rank him
as one of the foremost new leaders for world peace.
His equally visionary communication process,
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), is the cornerstone of
what global leaders, educators, and beyond are
identifying as the missing link to the solution we all
seek. Viewed through NVC eyes, all anger and
violence--both in the world at large and in our own
personal lives--is a counter-productive attempt by
people to meet their needs.
 
At the beginning of a presentation on NVC in a
Palestinian refugee camp, an angry Palestinian father
stood up and screamed at Rosenberg, “You murderer!”
Using his NVC skills, Rosenberg sensed that this man
was venting his anger toward America at him
personally. Instead of reacting defensively, Rosenberg
connected with the man's deep feelings of frustration
and his need to be heard. Almost instantly, the
tension in the room was diffused and a productive
conversation about difficult issues facing those in
the camp continued, with both sides sharing and
listening respectfully. At the end of the evening the
same man who had yelled “murderer” invited Rosenberg
home to a Ramadan dinner. Focused on shared human
needs and heartfelt connection with others, NVC
promises to help guide us to a more peaceful world.
 
With visionary philosophies, a visionary communication
process, and some very hard work, Dr. Rosenberg has
kept the door open to the prospect of world peace.
While he is a new leader for peace on the global
stage, his time-tested formula for change is spreading
as a grass-roots movement from person to person and
region to region : “Creating a life-enriching quality
of connection that allows all our needs to be met in
ways that are satisfying for everyone involved.”
Working together with Marshall Rosenberg and NVC,
world peace is within our reach.
 
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for those under 18.
