Nonviolent Self-Defense Practice Session

Nonviolent self-defense is a path to protecting oneself without harming the individual with which you are interacting. This school of thought revolves around the reduction of hostility, re-humanization of parties, redirection of movement and seeking to disengage. This practice session will be largely experiential and learning-by-doing. The skills learned can be implemented in a number of hostile situations and open a number of paths to protecting oneself and others nonviolently.

Objectives:
1) Acquiring skills of basic nonviolent self defense
2) An increased awareness of the possible paths one can take towards re-humanizing and deescalating
3) Acquiring skills through role-playing and partner practice
