META Peace Team Northern Hub

Hey Everyone,
Our Northern Hub was planning a live, in-person nonviolence training for this fall; however, with the new Covid variant threat, we have postponed the training to March 4 - 6th, 2022. It will be held at the Neahtawanta Inn. Details will follow after the new year, when we can better discern the situation with the pandemic and determine if we can meet together.

In the meantime, there are two virtual Violence De-Escalation Trainings: one Sept. 18 - 19; another Nov. 6 - 7. You can find the details here: https://www.metapeaceteam.org/our-next-nonviolence-skills-training

This is the training that qualifies people to be an active part of the Meta Peace Team.
We are currently hoping to grow our ranks here in northern Michigan by having more people take the training.

Please spread the word about the 2 virtual trainings and consider attending yourself. Even if you've had the training, a refresher is always helpful.

Hey Everyone! The next By-stander Intervention Training is next Saturday, May 22nd! It's virtual; and WELL worth the effort! Here's part of the description:

Our emphasis will be on effective communication and
compassionate Bystander Intervention:
What to do when you’re alone and see someone being harassed.


What do you do when the someone being harassed is YOU?


Participants will learn and gain practice in specific skills and tools
that are useful both in conflict intervention situations and in daily life.
This 4-hour workshop allows participants to explore what it takes to successfully intervene in situations where they witness someone being harassed or bullied, and to interrupt escalating violence.
