Milbre Burch will present Making the Heart Whole Again: Stories and Strategies for Peace-Making in a Wounded World.

Explore conflict resolution stories (self-esteem and bullying issues; school cliques, homophobia and domestic violence; the challenge of teaching tolerance) from diverse global traditions through hands-on exercises, including group ‘brainstorming’ on how and where to use the stories and exercises. Receive ‘peace-making’ media resources, two extensive bibliographies, and Milbre’s own collection of quotes, meditations and prayers about peace.

At the end of the day, we will share our experiences, followed by a short closing ceremony.
