RockRose Institute, a 501(c)(3) public charity, is the primary organizer of Facing Violence: Justice, Religion and Conflict Resolution - World Forum 2007. RockRose supports, promotes and advances non-violent conflict resolution through education, improved communication and a deeper understanding of justice.  It was founded in 2004 by four women attorneys. 

We fulfill our mission by supporting public forums for interdisciplinary dialogue and training in communication skills.   Inclusion of youth and the arts deepens and strengthens our programs.   We support the creation of educational tools, materials and programs for individuals, educators and community leaders.

CO-SPONSORS events in academic, business and non-profit communities to foster dialogue that bridges viewpoints and strengthens learning.

CONSULTS with diverse organizations in designing large-scale events to deepen participant connection and maximize impact.
