Description
As counterintuitive as it may sound, conflict is the space where relationships grow. However, because we don’t know how to work through conflict productively, our past experiences of disagreements center on pain, anger, and loss, with very little upside. In this highly participatory course, instructed by Karen Gimnig, attendees will learn how to work their way through conflict, finding growth and richer relationships on the other side.
Please note that Classes 1 & 2 are prerequisites for Classes 3-5. So while Classes 1 & 2 can be taken individually, Classes 3 – 5 cannot. It is advised to take the full course if possible.
In this class you’ll learn about:
- Validation is different than agreement
- Finding the sense in an opposing idea
- Empathy – connecting in the heart space
- Conflict forms – a community tool for better conflict
This class is suitable for people new to the world of intentional communities, people looking to visit or join a community, people looking to start/build a community, and people already living in community.
