AVP Britain
>does AVP work?

I think when the course finishes people will find they have a different outlook on life.  Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself.

I can heartily recommend AVP to everyone.
The courses are excellent value.

I didn't expect it to be what it was.  I thought it would be like three days in college.  But I was really thankful that I did it because it was the best three days I have had in the last ten years.  I really enjoyed it.  It was like everybody had a bond.  We was all talking, really communicating.  I've never experienced anything like it before.

I came to the workshop thinking that other people were the violent ones and I was one of the peaceful ones.  AVP helped me to realise that life isn't divided up like that; we are all just people.

I built a defensive wall around myself, but AVP showed me that I can talk to someone, that it is really alright to let my feelings out and show people how I really feel.

If there is such a thing as a miraculous change, then I can truthfully say that it was through AVP that I began to grow from a person filled with hate, anger and despair into a person who believes that he too is responsible for the protection, enrichment and preservation of humanity.

After the course I can walk away from someone who wants me to do something that I don't want to do.  I can talk to them adult to adult, and take my own power.

The AVP course I attended can only be described as a really wonderful experience.  I feel I have started a new phase of my life, with a fuller understanding of my own and others' needs.

Through the programme I learned communication with my family and friends I never thought existed...  I learned trust again.

Friends asked me why I attended an AVP workshop, since I didn't seem like a violent person.  A lot of violence I carry is directed towards myself in the form of self-criticism.  AVP is helping me see that and is helping me change.
