+ Workshop details +
Are you feeling challenged by a friend, a loved one, or a political or environmental issue? I imagine you’re saying “yes” to one of these because guess what, you’re human! And navigating conflict is a core part of the human experience. Join us for a workshop on “Finding Common Ground: Conflict Resolution 101” with Natasha Edmunds where you’ll learn that conflict can be transformed by learning how to engage in meaningful conversations. Walk away from this experience with a greater understanding of how polarization shows up, how compassionate curiosity expands our capacity to see another’s humanness, and how calling in rather than calling out can bridge divides. To note, this workshop isn’t a space to come to debate a conflict, rather it’s a space to welcome everyone to show up with an open mind to learn how to transform your connections with the people and world you care about.
