Training Summary:
This training will support participants to develop shared language related to conflict such
as harm, misunderstanding, generative conflict, and accountability. Participants will
engage in exploration of their own relationship to conflict, how they’ve personally been
socialized to think about conflict, and the values they hold around navigating it. Through
individual reflection, large group and small group discussions, and somatic activities,
participants will explore the embodied ways that they respond to conflict while
identifying frameworks to support them in leaning in and turning towards conflict when
needed.
