8 AM

Heading here this morning in about 30 minutes.
Invited to participate in a Marshall Rosenberg
Non-Violent Communication Workshop
beginning at 9:30 AM.

Spirit is working.
I heard of this place a few hours before
at Earth Day. I stopped at the booth
of the Peace Resource Center and bought
a rubber stamp that says
Think Globally-Act Locally.

Then later in the day,
I ran into Amelia at Whole Foods.
She said she was on the way to pick
up Marshall and that this workshop has
been added.

I gave here some organic strawberries
from the Rodriguez Family.
She invited me.

I like Marshall Rosenberg very much.
I believe he is one of the most effective
peacemakers on the planet.

I love his "gardening" tools for making peace
between men and women, mothers and children,
etc.

This is from the Brethren web site:

A Legacy of Peace       

David Neptune, a man of peace and social action, was active in the formation of the new Friend's Center.  He was also a founding member of the Peace Resource Center of San Diego and the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice.  Although David Neptune passed away on July 16, 2003, he left behind a legacy of peacemaking.

We are building a new Friends Center on the campus of the First Church of the Brethren of San Diego.  Renowned architects Hubbell and Hubbell have designed our environmentally friendly building.  Robert Bolles, our construction manager, is considered an expert in sustainable building.  Click on pictures to your left to increase size.

The Friends Center, a center for peace, social justice and spiritual growth, will be an energy-efficient building featuring a steel post-and-beam structure with straw bale walls, as well as solar power, passive solar design, water recycling and other energy-efficient components. This project is the result of collaboration among members of the First Church of the Brethren, the San Diego Friends Meeting (Quakers), the Peace Resource Cnt., and the American Friends Service Committee U.S.-Mexico Border Program. It will be the first permitted straw bale building to be constructed in central city San Diego.

Visually, the building’s design was inspired by Spanish courtyard homes and Midwestern grain silos. Located at 3850 Westgate Place, San Diego, 92105, the project was developed and designed as a showcase “green” building. As such, it will demonstrate commitment to wise stewardship of natural resources and function as a model for architects, builders and other construction professionals, as well as members of the general public who are interested in living lightly on the planet. Besides being a demonstration model of earth-friendly values for now and for our future, the building demonstrates how advocates of peace and justice can collaborate to share resources and space.

The process of creating this special building includes plenty of room for volunteers of all sorts to contribute to a permanent center for San Diego that will promote peace, social justice, spiritual growth and a sustainable environment. You can help realize the dream by donating skilled/unskilled labor, equipment or building materials.

To volunteer for support work and administrative tasks, or for general questions, please contact the Peace Resource Center at (619) 263-9301 or Hal Brody at (619) 222-3825.
