Event coordinators said that Reoch's experience with peace activism and his Buddhist connection, while mutually exclusive when it comes to his work, combine to make him an expert in the field of stress release and a perfect candidate for the workshop.
"I think the world needs better tools and better skillful means to deal with aggression and conflict, and Richard knows what those tools are and what has worked for him in the world," said Adana Barbieri, the program coordinator for the Inviting Wisdom speaker series. "Bringing his worldly experience together with the Buddhist wisdom, can help each of us discover our peaceful core that is our nature, and when we have more familiarity with that, we can work more skillfully and less aggressively with others."
