Ann Morgan
Ann has almost thirty years experience as an educator, including facilitating groups with young people and adults of all different backgrounds, engaging in dialogue and reflection. Her early career experience of working in multi-faith and ethnically diverse Borneo, Malaysia, gave Ann a taste of significant cultural, religious and socioeconomic diversity. She has a special interest in mainstreaming nonviolence and peacemaking and believes that education and awareness raising through creating opportunities for respectful dialogue, is paramount for fostering social inclusion. Ann is currently completing her PhD in Education. Communities of practice, critical reflective practice, working in multidisciplinary contexts and exploring how values and ethics impact on identity and ways of ‘being’ in relationships are the focus of her research. Ann is greatly supported by her partner Lawrie and two sons, Jordan and Joseph. She lives in the multicultural and richly diverse suburb of Inala in Brisbane.
George E. Trippe
George has had a long interest in the dialogue between the psychology of Carl Jung and spirituality. After working over four decades in the priestly ministries, George now functions in private practice in which he offers psychotherapy, counselling, spiritual direction and professional supervision. He also functions as an artist. George has over fifty years experience in inner work, and has worked over these years with dreams and active imagination. In addition to his private practice, George has worked with the team facilitating programs on Mainstreaming Nonviolence and the Spirituality of Nonviolent Leadership for over five years.

Brendan has been involved in adult education, group facilitation and nonviolent social transformation for the past thirty years and holds a Masters Degree in Curriculum Studies from the University of New England. Since 1994, Brendan has been associated with the international Pace E Bene Nonviolence Service (www.paceebene.org) and was a founding member of Pace e Bene Australia.
