Events at the peace museum
Event organizers are responsible for all aspects of events. We do not charge local people or groups to use the space for non-commercial pro-peace activities. All organizers are expected to run events aligned with a culture of peace.

Nonviolent Communications Workshop for men
Sept 20th, 1:00 to 3:30pm
Every 3rd Tuesday Compassionate Communications
(aka NonViolent Communication)
Learn to Communicate Without Blame, Shutdown, or Escalation.
Organized by the Trust. Time: 3:00 - 5:30pm
Do you ever walk away from a conversation thinking
- “That’s not what I meant.”
- “Why did that turn into an argument?”
- “I didn’t feel heard - and neither did they.”
There is another way to communicate one that builds understanding instead of distance.
Compassionate Communication is:
- Expressing ourselves clearly without blame or criticism
- Listen beneath words to what really matters
- Navigate conflict without losing connection
and so much more!

Tuesday/Wednesday evenings: Understanding Totalitarianism
7pm to 8pm, every Tuesdays (until Sept 9 2026), then Wednesdays
Audiobook club.
Each week we’ll spend 5 minutes recapping prior sessions, listen to about 20 minutes of the audiobook, then spend 40 minutes discussing it. Sessions are one hour. No book is required. You’re welcome to speak, listen, or join at any point, even if you miss some weeks.
We’re living in a time of growing division. It’s becoming harder to talk openly, stay connected, or understand people with different views. This isn’t happening by accident. This group exists to start a conversation about why this is happening and what we can do about it. Words like totalitarianism, fascism, and authoritarianism are used a lot, often without much historical understanding. This group will focus on totalitarianism, using Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism to look at tactics used in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia—and how similar tactics show up today. Talking and debating ideas is essential to democracy. We hope you’ll join us.
Organized by Susanne Hedley and Bill Kilpatrick.
