Peter Bergel
Peter Bergel has been a nonviolence trainer since 1967, when he received his initial training in a nonviolence course at UC Berkeley. He has conducted a great many nonviolence prep trainings for direct actions of various kinds, but in addition he has led community nonviolence trainings, trainings for trainers and college nonviolence courses. In 1995 he took a week of Training for Trainers from George Lakey of Training for Change, which substantially altered the way he conducts nonviolence training, making his trainings much more elicitive than previously. Currently he is developing a new kind of nonviolence training which he calls “Shifting into Peace Gear” and which is intended to develop participants’ abilities to become effective agents of the crucial societal paradigm shift from domination to cooperation.
Bergel is willing to travel within the Northwest to conduct trainings, but needs travel and other expenses to be covered by the sponsoring organization. He also encourages all sponsoring organizations to register their trainings with 1000 Nonviolence Trainings.
You can reach him by emailing pbergel@igc.org or calling 503-371-8002.
