About

The 2008 two day conference is entitled "Continuing the Dream…Constructing the World House". The conference will focus on practical ways we can each build the ‘world house’ that Dr. King referred to as the next step in creating the beloved community. Our house will be built on three pillars; nonviolence, social justice, and community building. All plenary speakers, workshops, paper presentations, dialogue sessions, panel discussions, and film presentations will fall under one of these pillars.

Possible topics under each pillar include but are not limited to:
Nonviolence: personal, political, social, and spiritual nonviolence
Social Justice: Environmental, Economic, and Racial Justice
Community Building: Nonviolent Communication, Conflict Resolution, Dialogue Processes, Multiculturalism, Exploring Privilege

Conference registration includes:
2 day conference admission
Friday evening reception and performance event
Saturday breakfast and lunch
Saturday banquet dinner
