Details

   This workshop will dive into how we deal with conflict and the impact it has on our personal and collective well-being. We’ll explore what authenticity and courage mean for each of us, how we can speak with clarity and honesty, and how we can live more fully from authentic presence. In the process we’ll look at deep embodiment of the consciousness and elements of NVC, power sharing, transforming old pain into the vitality of the present, and how to transform conflict that manifests internally and externally. Developing greater self-responsibility and self-compassion as forces that keep us grounded and centered will be included in the experiential focus of this training.

Points

  
  • NVC style mediation and reconciliation
  • Restorative Circles and Restorative Justice
  • Ways to resolve conflict without seeming to do anything
  • Protective vs. punitive use of force
  • Consequences of how we use power: power with vs. power over

Who is it for?
