Transforming Power Story: The Helpful Mugger

Kosmic Karen, an Alternatives to Violence Project(AVP) facilitator, tells a transforming power story about a woman who came up with a novel solution to prevent herself from being mugged. AVP facilitators — all trained volunteers — offer workshops in prisons as well as in the community for all who would like to reduce the level of unresolved conflict in their lives and the lives of those around them.If you would like more info about AVP go to http://www.avpusa.org/.
I've began a project which involves collecting Transforming Power stories on video. Transforming Power stories are about conflicted, harmful, and/or potentially violent situations that have been resolved nonviolently. Transforming Power (TP) is the central principle used in Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshops, and is the power that can transform and de-escalate harmful conflict situations. If you know of a YouTube video, or a movie or other video that includes a TP story, please let me know.
