    logo_worldpeacedanceSedona AZ (January 8, 2014) – John Dear, peace activist, author, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee will speak and host a book signing on Sunday, February 2 at 1PM at the Sedona Creative Life Center launching Sedona World Peace Dance Celebration Week, February 2-7. The John Dear event is free; donations will be appreciated.

    Dear will address the subject of his new book, “The Non-Violent Life” where he poses questions including, “How can we become people of nonviolence and help the world become more nonviolent? What does it mean to be a person of active nonviolence? How can we build a global grassroots movement of nonviolence to disarm the world, relieve unjust human suffering, make a more just society and protect creation and all creatures? What is a nonviolent life?”

    photo_johndearAccording to Ken Butigan, Ph.D, educator, writer and advocate for non-violent change, “In ‘The Nonviolent Life,’ Dear articulates a vision of the power, meaning and impact of the spiritually grounded nonviolent life—and invitees us to put this into practice in immediate and long-term ways. This is a clarion call, underscored by a declaration that recurs throughout the book: ‘the days of violence are over.’ Dear’s phrasing is both daunting and deeply hopeful…”

    An internationally known voice for peace, Dear has participated in nonviolent campaigns for over three decades; been arrested some 75 times in acts of civil disobedience against war and injustice; spent nearly a year of his life in jail for peace. In 2008, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
