The Art of Conflict harnesses the energies of conflict, diversity, and chaos to create cutural change. As individuals, families, and organizations, we typically alternate between avoiding conflict and enacting conflict that does harm. Individuals, families, and organizations skilled in the art of conflict facilitate the recognition and engagement of differences necessary for creative collaboration and cultural change. This workshop explores these themes and the power of imagination in practicing the art of conflict.
This experiential program is an introduction to the principles and practices that guide Transformative Learning at the Institute of Imaginal Studies. Potential themes for the day include:
- Choosing conflict to catalyze community
- The creative dimensions of conflict
- Transforming conflict within intimate relationships
- Mythological perspectives on conflict
- Collaborative communication in the midst of anger, hate, and addiction
