Northwest Regional Conference
Vancouver, Washington

Logo

We intended to bring together the questioning, the hopeful, and the visionary into a partnership that reflects our deepest values and creates new possibilities for a sustainable and nonviolent conflict resolution paradigm. We intended to explore success stories, share talents and abilities, and light the fires of inspiration -- AND WE DID IT!!!

We invite you to support the momentum of the Northwest Region with a donation.
