Creative Conflict Resolution is a set of attitudes, understandings, and behaviors that lead to the healthy resolution of conflicts in intimate relationships, in our relationships at work, in our relationships with our Selves, and ultimately in our relationship to the divine presence in our lives. During the course of the weekend intensive, participants in the Reconciliation Workshop will be trained in a set of disciplines or practices that, when diligently applied, become a lifestyle that resolves conflict and creates justice in all of our relationships.
On the surface, the skills that you will learn from the workshop are a comprehensive system for conflict resolution in your personal life. At a deeper level, the practices that you will learn are ones which, when practiced consistently, will lead to a spiritual transformation in your life. Specifically;
Accessing the divine from within: we can come to know the mystical presence of the divine by "going within" our own experience. Our conflicts with others can be a "trail head" from which to explore our interior experience and connect with the immanent God.
Acting powerfully to create justice: we know that people can claim to be acting in harmony with God's will and yet do unspeakable harm to others. By clearly distinguishing wants from needs we can confidently and powerfully act in ways that are transformative and liberating.
Being co-creators of God's realm: we create the world in which we live and the world in which others live with us by the choices that we make. Clearly knowing the power that we have demands accountability and brings us peace.
