This Saturday (1/19): a very engaging workshop... okay to just "show up"

The Philosophy of Nonviolence - a Strategy for Complete Freedom from Oppression

A special MLK workshop. Explore the philosophy of nonviolence as Mahatma Gandhi worked it out. Dare to live by the fundamental principles that he put into practice and learn to be truly free. To live by them is to throw off all oppression, internal and external, regardless of the situation.Work through these principles in depth in the morning, and explore how we can apply them in our lives in the afternoon. It is a challenge worthy of our potential. With Rod Davis, Ph.D.

Saturday, Jan. 19, 9:30 AM to 4 PM, at The United Churches (downstairs in the Purple Room), corner of Capitol Blvd. and 11th Ave. in Olympia, Sliding Scale Fee: $25 - $100/person
