Engaging Conflict: Reflective Structured Dialogue and the Inner Resources of the Facilitator

Led by Robert R Stains Jr., M.Ed., Principal, Bob Stains and Associates, Conflict Transformation and Senior Associate, Essential Partners (fka Public Conversations Project)

January 3-5 and 8-10 (9:00am-6:00pm)

This 6-day intensive workshop will build the facilitation skills of individuals active in religious contexts to enable communities to engage difference in constructive ways: proactively, not just reactively. It will draw on the Reflective Structured Dialogue model developed by the Public Conversations Project (now Essential Partners) for individuals and communities seeking to overcome repetitive, destructive conflict. Initially based on family systems ideas and techniques, the model has been adapted across cultural, religious, and national borders in response to conflicts related to identity, values, and beliefs.

The workshop will place emphasis on religious and spiritual communities, demonstrating the many ways dignity can enhance compassionate leadership as well as spiritual growth and development.
