(802) 633-2384Heart and Mind Conflict Transformation
with Basia Solarz and Ella Reznikova
November 10 - 12, 2017
What shuts down the awakened self when we’re caught in the strong emotions of conflict?
Learn to respond thoughtfully to conflicts — rather than react — during this weekend program which will explore the forces that derail mindful engagement when it matters most.
Using the lens of the transformative understanding of conflict, we will examine common human reactions to difficult communication, consider what guides our behavior when we’re overcome in the moment, and develop practical strategies for responding deliberately.
This enriching weekend will include time for personal reflection as well as small and large group discussions, and opportunities to put our insights into practice. We will also delve into the connections between the transformative approach to conflict and contemplative practices.
This program is recommended as professional development for social workers, nurses, counselors, clergy and lay leaders, as well as for anyone who wants to have a different relationship with the conflicts in their own lives.
Documentation to support an application for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be provided upon request. Meditation instruction will be available.
