COMMUNAL EVOLUTIONARY TRAINING TO TRANSFORM OURSELVES AND COMMUNITY
A uniquely transformative course will be starting January 14th bringing participants from many of Detroit’s communities together. We would like to have journalists and press in the course as well.
Participants in the course are working on a number of initiatives and are enrolling to increase their reach and comprehension of a greater community we share. We will all benefit greatly with correspondents taking the course, documenting their experience and how participants transform themselves and their communities. Campaigns from participants are going to address reducing violence; forming community spaces and programs; cultural development; offering large scale social innovation – such as eradicating homelessness. This course will increase our interconnectivity on a whole new scale, and increase our consciousness for how to achieve what we desire together.
One way in which a journalist participating in this overall journey could be through an “Empathy Campaign” for Detroit. A broad media empathy campaign may consist of a weekly column on what empathy is, and how to transform our thoughts and actions from separation to caring. How to listen and exist “in the shoes of another”. Sharing moving stories of empathy, such as resolving conflict through empathy and other forms of empathic actions within families, business, and community.
The course is held by teleconference weekly with world renowned consciousness leaders. Additional teleconferences will be held within the Detroit participant group to allow questions, review lessons learned, and integrate lessons in context with current events. We’ll have some face to face time as well in various places which will be vital toward deepening connections and building a new infrastructure for community transformation.
Cities of Peace Detroit is the community partner bringing this course to Detroit. As a localized course the conditions of Detroit will be a focus. This course will create a shift by learning, listening, and taking action together. A part of the shift will move conflict into responsible conversation and dialogue to building sustainable solutions.
We invite you to join the Peace Ambassador Training and participate on this journey with us.
