Nonviolent Self-Defense

Nonviolent self defense is a path to protecting oneself without seeking to harm the individual with which you are interacting. This school of thought revolves around the reduction of hostility, re-humanization of parties, redirection of movement and seeking to disengage. This workshop will be largely experiential and learning-by-doing. The skills learned can be implemented in a number of hostile situations, and open a number of paths to protecting oneself and others nonviolently. Objectives: 1) Acquiring skills of basic nonviolent self defense 2) An increased awareness of the possible paths one can take towards re-humanizing and deescalating 3) Acquiring skills through role-playing and partner practice Payment: We ask for $45-$100 to support our work and help us better serve the community. No one will be turned away for lack of payment and we welcome you either way.
