Conflict

Navigating conflict generatively is essential for our individual arcs of transformation as well as our larger movements. Our conflict work is designed for those:

  • Seeking a deeper understanding of why conflict is inevitable, important, and how it can be generative,

  • Looking for embodied and trauma-informed tools to navigate conflict,

  • Navigating pathways to explore and transform their own relationship to conflict,

  • Interested in interrogating complex power dynamics in conflict,

  • Eager to assess choice points before, during, and after a conflict, 

  • Open to practicing new behaviors that view conflict as care and develop new conflict patterns. 

What we do:

Group Conflict Coaching:

In a small group setting, get support from our conflict coaches in exploring a current (or past) conflict in your life that you would like to move through with more ease. Learn more about our upcoming sessions here.

Restorative/Healing Circles:

We have experience supporting organizations and groups in practicing generative conflict through facilitating restorative circles. These sessions provide space for emotions, healing, mutual understanding, and transparency in challenging moments of group conflict. If you are interested in this offering we are happy to collaborate knowing that each group has different needs.

Skill-Up Workshops:

If you are looking for specific tools to communicate clearly in conflict, understand and transform your conditioned tendencies in moments of tension, spaces to explore how trauma shows up in our bodies in conflict, or tips and tricks for conflict aftercare, reach out to us about leading a workshop for you and/or your team.

Mediation: 

  • As trained mediators, we work impartially and consensually with parties experiencing conflict to engage in effective dialogue in a neutral and calm environment.

    If you are feeling stuck in conflict, we can help you: 

    • Communicate for better understanding by asking questions, rephrasing, and modeling

    • Identify the issues and each party’s interests

    • Develop your own creative solutions to get unstuck

    • Negotiate a lasting agreement that works for everyone
