Dear Birgitt, Just in regards to your question around why focussing on non-violence, here are some of my thoughts:
There have been internal and systemic conflicts within the Occupy and Real Democracy movement throughout the world. I have written this blog article about it in December (based on an article from The Future of Occupy blog): http://streethostingberlin.posterous.com/occupy-camps-dealing-with-internal-and-system Also, some of us from Art of Hosting Berlin have been attending 2 planning meetings for an Occupy Berlin World Café/OpenSpace. Working together with the calling team and communication there has been very much dominated by anger, fear, control, violence (in language), and deep national trauma. Transforming this energy non-violently into positive creation processes, I find the most challenging at the moment...
