The BePeace Workshop, presented by Rita Marie Johnson, will introduce the practice of BePeace, the synergistic combination of HeartMath for “feeling peace” and Nonviolent Communication for “speaking peace”. It will include exercises so that the transformational power of this method can be experienced.
BePeace is highly effective in preventing and resolving conflicts. As Rita Marie explains, “In achieving my goal to be a true peacemaker, I was missing a solid how-to in resolving day to day conflicts. I researched social and emotional learning methods for 10 years, looking for the way to “be peace” in every moment. Now I can progress each day rather than being stuck for years in the same reactive patterns.” BePeace is also being used in counseling, team building, mediation, small group work and creative problem solving.
The workshop will include a short summary of Costa Rica’s model of peace and its new endeavor to establish a Ministry for Peace that will work with the Academy for Peace. In addition, Rita Marie will share how BePeace is being applied in the school system and the plans to upscale it to the national level. If you are committed to being a true peacemaker and creating new systems based on peace, this is the workshop for you.
