Annual Peacemakers Retreats

Annual Peacemakers Retreats

                                                                

 
The Center for Peacemaking Practice holds semi-annual retreats for peacemaking practitioners, each lasting around a week and bringing together individuals in the field of conflict resolution from around the world.  
 
 
                                        
 
 
Our most recent retreat took place May 20-24, 2013, at theBlue Mountain Retreat Center in Knoxville, MD.  The retreat focused on building resiliency and self-care for practitioners, as well as offering opportunities for reflective practice and shared learning among the community.  Too often, the work of peacemaking is face-paced, intense, and draining, with little time for personal reflection and care.  This retreat sought to address these concerns through building a culture of self-reflection and self-care for the practitioners present, and at the same time create a supportive community of peacemakers - with bonds that will last well beyond the one week spent together.  
 
 
                                        
  
 
We hope to be able to share information soon about upcoming retreats, and invite individuals and organizations in the conflict resolution and peacemaking field to get in touch if you’re interested in participating in future retreats.
