Transforming the Legacies of Conflict, War & Genocide through Dialogue - November 13
One by One, Inc., in Collaboration with the Fordham Psychology Association, Presents:
Transforming the Legacies of Conflict, War and Genocide through Dialogue
November 13-17, 2006
the Passionist Center, Riverdale, New York
Today, more than ever, when our world is wracked with war and hatred, DIALOGUE offers an alternative to the cycle of violence and revenge that can only perpetuate human suffering.
DIALOGUE allows us to move beyond inherited enmity and trauma to the recognition that the dehumanization of the "other" ultimately results in the loss of our own humanity.
DIALOGUE is one of the best tools we have for peace building; for preventing future violence; and for helping the increasing number of people worldwide who are suffering from the aftermath of war, genocide and displacement. Dialogue can stop the transmission of trauma, hatred and prejudice to future generations, and lead toward personal liberation and social justice.
Please join us for a week of exciting workshops and presentations by:

One by One is a non-profit organization founded by the descendants of Holocaust survivors and descendants of Nazi perpetrators and German by-standers. The goal of our conference is to share our own experiences of healing and personal transformation with groups and individuals doing similar work. This conference will bring together wounded healers who have had direct experience of war and genocide; organizations working on conflict transformation; and those interested in learning more about how dialogue and deep listening can prevent future genocide and war. One by One begins with the healing of oneself, and eventually expands outward into the community and the wider world. Peacemaking is a sacred profession, and we believe it needs to be practiced one, by one, by one. Please join us as we embark on this healing journey!
