Event Description: If given a choice, many of us would avoid or deny conflict until we or ‘it’ got out of control. Yet conflict is at the heart of every turning point in our lives. It holds the seeds of our own spiritual and creative development and the energy to sustain it. This experiential workshop will provide opportunities for you to work creatively and non-violently with conflict and obstacles to peace in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Interactive exercises, such as storytelling and role-play, will enable you to transform conflict into new insights and actions.
