The Eagle's Healing Nest & Man Forward - from the Everyday Nonviolence Podcast

Charlotte Sebastian of Friends for a Nonviolent World and their Everyday Nonviolence Podcast guest-hosts today for Spirit In Action, sharing portions from 2 episodes of the podcast. The first explores the extraordinary work being done by the Eagle’s Healing Nest, an organization located in Sauk Center, MN, dedicated to serving veterans dealing with “the invisible wounds of war”. Host Ellery McCardle speaks with Melony Butler, Founder, Chair and Director; Mike Dunfe, a former resident; and Alec Embree, who currently lives at “The Nest”. In part 2, Jon Vang was interviewed by Joann Perry about his work as an activist with Man Forward. He discusses masculinity, the problems facing individuals coming out of prison, and his dedication to ending gender-based violence in the Asian community. The AVP (Alternatives to Violence Program), an invaluable course of learning shared in Minnesota by FNVW is an essential part of both situations.
