Since then he has made frequent presentations on nonviolence and social transformation at retreats and workshops, and has facilitated numerous nonviolence trainings and lectures in the U.S., Europe, Central and South America, and Australia.Richard, Alain J. is the author of 'Roots of Violence in the U.S. Culture A Diagnosis Towards Healing' with ISBN 9781577330431 and ISBN 1577330439.
