“Become the change . . .” 
A Sabeel Workshop in Kingian Nonviolence
How would Martin Luther King open minds and hearts to needed change
 in Israel-Palestine – and in the United States? 

Led by Tarek Abuata
With Co-Trainers Avery Blakeney and Harold Vines 
Saturday and Sunday
September 25–26, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 
Festival Center/Servant Leadership School
1640 Columbia Road, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
About 3 blocks from Columbia Heights Metro Station
Cost: $75 (includes two lunches)   



The workshop introduces Kingian nonviolence  and helps participants acquire the skills to promote justice and social change. After participants have a good grasp of the basics of the Kingian approach, we will discuss how it might be applied in our community to promote compassionate awareness of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
 
Tarek Abuata has co-led many workshops, including ones with Dr. Bernard Lafayette, who worked directly with Dr. King. Tarek is the Palestinian support coordinator for the Christian Peacemaker Teams, Director of Partner Relations at UPA, and a volunteer with Love Thy Neighbor, which trains Palestinian students in Kingian nonviolence. 
Avery Blakeney is a certified Level Two Trainer in Kingian nonviolence and the ordained minister of Lighthouse Ministries, which focuses on social justice.  
Harold Vines is a certified Level Two trainer in Kingian Nonviolence and focuses on racial reconciliation through instructional classes and leadership of the Potter’s House Roundtable discussions.
