Inter Faith Workshop The interfaith workshop facilitated by WISCOMP in December 2005, in Delhi was a response to the felt needs of the Athwaas group — a group of women from different ethnic, religious and professional backgrounds who work to link reconciliation processes, educational initiatives and development programs in Kashmir, and to make women visible in each of these. The workshop was also a response to another need expressed by Athwaas members —to heal from within so that they can emerge as effective peacemakers. The practice of healing through a multiplicity of techniques drawn from the different faith traditions will consequently formed an important component of the interfaith workshop. Participants from Jammu and Kashmir, both women and men, were drawn from across a variety of religious and ethnic groups, professions, educational backgrounds and ages. Almost all of them had been touched in some form or another by the activities of the Athwaas initiative of WISCOMP, and are part of a larger collective quest — to seek alternate, humane and non-violent spaces for creative expression and dialogue in the midst of active political violence that surrounds their lives.
