By nature, humans are intelligent, imaginative, and collaborative creatures. These qualities, when grounded in a sense of togetherness and hopefulness, have pushed us into new possibilities. At our core we yearn to be in community with one another, which often invites us back to ancestral wisdoms and spirituality to guide us in our present lives.
But in trying times, stress and despair overwhelm us, and many struggle to adapt. Interpersonally and communally, our lack of skills in navigating moments of tension gets in the way of us reaching hopes and dreams. And our inability to stay connected to one another dims our imagination, which is so key to moving us from frozen hopelessness to hopeful action.
This workshop is for folks who are interested and committed to interrogating and challenging their own habits and patterns in conflict, learning new skills, and being faithful to how spirit is calling them to show up in moments of tension.
Queries:
- What are the stories of power and conflict that we’ve inherited? How are we spending this inheritance?
- How does our relationship to conflict (fear, excitement, avoidance, etc.) mirror our relationship to spirit?
- What do we stand to gain in our communities and relationships by growing our conflict skills? What do we stand to lose by avoiding our inner conflict work?
