When a professional is working with parties in conflict, the turmoil and tension in the room impacts the professional as well as the clients. The focus of this two day workshop is exploring how conflict professionals can access their inner lives in ways that are constructive for the professionals and productive for their clients. We will learn together about connecting with our deeper impulses that fuel our commitment to working with people in conflict – such as compassion and the search for greater self and mutual understanding. We will also learn about dealing with the barriers to that understanding, such as judgment, anger and the desire for control, and how to recognize and work with those barriers to bring us closer to ourselves and our clients. This workshop combines self-reflection techniques such as meditation, body awareness, and journaling, with practice in the experience of accessing your inner life while you work.
