Strengthen your spirit and skills for peacemaking!
CCP is training in the spirituality, practice and power of active nonviolence.
The innovative design allows you to discover your own power and to increase your skills for respectful engagement with opponents, instead of perpetuating confrontations that polarize and demonize. Unlike trainings that emphasize only war issues, this training is an incubator for you to learn to actively confront many issues that concern you, whether group controversy or conflict, neighborhood violence, domestic violence, climate change, militarism, discrimination, video games, homelessness, peace education, lack of health care or something else. You will develop a strong community with a common foundation prepared to work together effectively for peace and justice.

The training is highly participatory; it does not depend on books and lectures. It draws upon your own wisdom, experience and talents and on the skills and knowledge of trained facilitators. Mutual learning occurs through storytelling, meditation, small group sharing, brainstorming, role plays, thought-provoking exercises, music and movement. It guides you through an exploration of nonviolence principles, an analysis of social change and community-building, provides resources, and builds skills for peacemaking. Every group chooses and plans concrete projects of their own choosing. For other CCP dates and information see the calendar:
Janet Chisholm, CCP founder and national coordinator, is Peace Coordinator at Kirkridge and formerly FOR executive, educator, and social services manager; she is a faith-based trainer, activist, writer and speaker.
Kat Malinsky is a certified CCP Facilitator and Associate Professor at Argosy University. She has worked with both children and adults, taught visual arts and ESL, and lived overseas for 10 years. Her area of expertise is cultural diversity.
