About this Event
We experience disconnection and are often ill-equipped to work within conflict. We can become overwhelmed, responding with anger or turning away from each other. Staying engaged, especially across personal and ideological differences, is key to being in relationship and community.
This workshop is designed for participants to learn practical skills, engage in practice with others, and be equipped to take this work to our communities and workplaces.
Join us to learn and practice together!
This workshop experience is curated and facilitated by Dee Rolffs (L3 Catalyst Group) and Kirk Eklund (Inkfish).
