An easy way to deal with conflict is denial. We just pretend there is “no big deal” , that conflict is not important. As in any denial process, we just wait-while-we-do-nothing, hoping time will wash it away.
By doing so, we deprive ourselves of a powerful opportunity of growth.
The goal of the workshop is to change your perspective on conflict from “bad” or “embarrassing” to « great » news. We’ll explore how conflicts are implicitly related to rank, privilege and power dynamics.
You’ll be invited to co-create a safe space, so conflicts can be addressed with open heart.
We’ll go through the source of denial and different ways we sense power, making conflicts uncomfortable.
We’ll explore how we can spotlight and sit in the fire of conflicts with ease.
We’ll unfold the process that leads us to conflicts and turn it to a powerful reconciliation practice
The approach presented is inspired by:
- the process work/deep democracy approach of including minority voices in all decisions to avoid ordinary social oppression,
- The liminal thinking pattern: from behaviors to deep needs, created by Dave Gray ,
- the power intelligence model to decrypt our personal sense of power
