Nonviolent Communication: A Foundational Skill For Ministry, Mary L. Parks
Obsculta
A need for more formation has been identified during the continental phase of the Synod on Synodality. Furthermore, a conference of the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative has observed a lack of time devoted to nonviolence in existing Catholic formation. This paper will demonstrate how incorporating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) into formation will meet these needs.
The Music In The Trees, Peter Jensen
The Music In The Trees, Peter Jensen
Obsculta
The following poems are meditations about the growth students experience during the learning process. I utilize trees as an analogy for pedagogical development.

Then we can develop an educational program assisting those working with survivors of sexual violence.

Obsculta
The primary themes within Dreamers X Doers revolve around the need for social justice and the lack of collaboration between those who are doers and those who only dream of an ideal world. As a dreamer, I emphasize the desire for fellow dreamers to rise up and bring about the change they know needs to happen. I address the tendency of dreamers to live inside their own minds and to procrastinate, but I also make known the capacity for these dreamers to take part in the efforts towards social change that they feel so passionately about. All in all, dreamers …
