Scott Brown’s Active Peace workshops were filled with enlightening, interactive activities. In the final hours, the ramifications of this approach to conflict transformation rendered me and, it appeared, all of us, “awe-struck.” We were awed by the magnitude of the paradigm shift, by the humanity of it, and by the almost unfathomable potential.

To fully benefit from an Active Peace workshop with Scott Brown one does well to bring a willingness to engage in an immersive experience and in one’s own transformation. This is far better than coming with expectations.
