We are living in an age of outrage and division. Many of us feel called upon to stand up for our beliefs–and to find ways to reduce the animosity that we see online and all around us. This is difficult work, and it can’t be done without clarity about ourselves. Join us at our Conflict and Compassion retreat as we explore how our emotional reactions to the problems of the external world—from climate change to politics to interpersonal conflicts—influence our outward responses. Together, we will investigate how deeper internal work can make us more resilient and useful in the complicated world we inhabit.

People who work in conflict experience powerful emotional currents, whether they want to or not. From mediators to journalists to politicians to therapists, we can’t help but carry judgments and gut feelings into our work. Exasperation, fear, anger and other difficult emotions go with the job. But they don’t have to drain our spirit and motivation. We can learn to use these reactions to help us form deeper connections to the problems and people we encounter. And with connections come new possibilities for  helping people find their way through conflict.

In this Inside Out: Conflict and Compassion program, we will use reflective exercises, role play, dialogue and meditation to intimately examine our work lives and our relationship to conflict.

We will also take time to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of Mar de Jade, situated on a stunning sandy beach on the Pacific Coast of Mexico north of Puerta Vallerta. The resort offers healthy, delicious food, swimming, yoga and breathtaking views. Our schedule includes long afternoon breaks to explore the beach and surrounding area.
