Alternative to Violence Program
This twenty-four hour workshop will be presented by the Sister Karen Klimczak Center for Nonviolence and will focus on ways to carry
out Sister Karen’s vision of a world without violence, to eliminate violence in ourselves, our society and in our world. Despite the violence visited on Sister Karen leading to her death, her belief was that nonviolence is the future of our
world. This workshop is facilitated by trained volunteers who believe in the essential goodness in every person. They will suggest exercises designed to build a sense of community, to enhance self respect and respect for others and will challenge us to think about issues related to conflict and peaceful
solutions.

Clutter and Spirituality
Most of us understand the need for “de-cluttering” our lives. This mini-retreat, led by Diane Zielinski, addresses such topics as “how clutter blocks relationships”; “inside and outside clutter”; “letting go”; “memory clutter”;
“trusting God for what we really need”.
Time will include presentations, reflection, prayer and practical tips for simplifying our lives!
