SUMMARY:EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide an introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for animal advocates. NVC is a communication modality based on principles of Nonviolence\, a philosophy that seeks to find a third way beyond the binary of pacifism and violence. NVC seeks solutions to conflicts that\, through awareness of the needs of all parties\, lead towards healing and reconciliation for all. \nThis highly interactive workshop will cover the basic vocabulary of NVC- observations\, feelings\, needs\, and requests\, and include exercises to begin (or continue) your practice. We’ll discuss using NVC across power differentials and in some common conflicts internal to the animal rights movement. \nSecure your spot & register now for free: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1115681105219 \nTo avoid time discrepancies\, confirm the time here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Communication+Workshop&iso=20250128T19&p1=250&ah=2 \nAbout the Facilitator: \nEva Hamer is a co-founder of Pax Fauna\, an organization committed to revitalizing the grassroots animal rights movement in the US through original research on messaging\, strategy\, and culture. Building on a background in Kingian nonviolence\, Eva Hamer has been engaging in intensive study of Nonviolent communication for several years\, and she is committed to bringing NVC’s repertoire of creative problem-solving tools to the work of building a stronger culture in the animal movement. \nEva has been organizing in the animal freedom movement since 2015 when she started working with DxE in Chicago\, where she focused on building community\, writing protest music\, and compiling the movements’ songs into an online songbook used by advocates around the world. From 2018-2021\, she worked full-time for DxE\, managing the organization’s many legal cases\, organizing trainings\, and orchestrating large artistic demonstrations. Eva has a deep curiosity about the internal cultural dynamics of social movements and their ability to influence dominant culture. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Movie Night at the Lab - The Land of Ahimsa
DESCRIPTION:Movie Night at the Lab! Wishbone Animal Rights Lab and We The Free are teaming up once again\, this time to bring you “The Land of Ahimsa”. Invite your non-vegan friends\, family\, and co-workers! \nThe concept of Ahimsa — or respect for all living things and avoidance of violence towards others — is an age-old concept espoused by many religions. But now with our society’s full knowledge of animal exploitation and the atrocities happening in\, for example\, the dairy and leather industries\, can we still call India ‘the land of Ahimsa’? \nThis thought-provoking feature-length documentary brings us the story of Dolly Vyas-Ahuja’s journey to veganism and explores the notion of the people of India returning to their roots and living their peaceful values. \nThe filmmakers hope that “The Land of Ahimsa” will encourage Indians\, as well as viewers all around the world\, to practise “Ahimsa”…and for them to persuade others to do the same. \nWe also have a special treat…one of the editors of the film\, Ray Kowalchuk\, will be in-theatre to introduce the film and be available for a Q&A at the movie’s completion. \nThe Lab is a default-vegan space\, so all outside food must be plant-based. Animal-friendly snacks are available at the concession stand. Vish\, our little plushie Ambassador of Anti-Speciesism\, gets LOTS to eat\, so don’t let him fool you when he asks for some of your popcorn! \nFYI: The Lab is located within a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto. Unfortunately for this particular event\, we are unable to accommodate anyone requiring a lift to the 3rd floor. We are working on remedying this situation for future events held at Wishbone. \nNotes: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
