THE MAGIC OF AVP

VIRTUAL on ZOOM
What is the Magic of AVP?
CommUNITY
What is the Magic of AVP? The ability to lean into transforming power. It is a framework to continue self-growth without judgement. It is an opportunity to explore difficult issues, to learn from self doubt or self loathing. The Magic of AVP is the ability to come one way and leave out differently - whatever that means to you, a self discovery process where anyone can learn!
Embodied Play
Building Relationships
How do our relationships with other changes as we embrace the principles of transforming power in our lives?
Can we repair toxic relationships with ourselves and others?
In a society that is grappling with racism, sexism, ageism, etc, how can we utilize transforming power in our lives everyday?
THE MAGIC OF AVP
"The Magic of AVP to me means to be able to use conflict resolution
tools during tough situations and the outcome is a win/win for everyone."
