MORE ON THE WORKSHOP:

Conflict has a bad reputation. Some of us avoid difficult conversations like the plague, with our unspoken words weighing heavy on us. Others engage hastily with conflict, without thinking much of the repercussions. Yet, whether we like it or not, the ability to navigate through the tricky terrain of conflict greatly influences the strength of our communities.

In this workshop we’ll discover how conflict is actually an opportunity for collective transformation and deeper connection, using an interpersonal meditation practice called Authentic Relating and the basic principles of Non-Violent Communication. By workshopping the difficult conversations in our own lives, we’ll practice applying techniques for managing conflict, even when the stakes are high.

We’ll also learn a methodology to receive conflict from others, discovering how to fully stay open and listen, while still having the opportunity to say our piece.

While these conversations may be tricky, we’ll discover that they often spotlight what we deeply value and desire personally, and collectively.

BEHIND PATHWAYS OF PEACE:

In an effort to be transparent with our community and to hold ourselves accountable, we wanted to let you know that Permatours has been going through some serious growth - not just in the size of our community, but also in the way that our organization is structured and governed.

We've faced some challenges as a "decentralized" organization, including conflict between our core organizers - in part, due to unspoken expectations, a lack of agreements around how we organize events, and a lack of process around how our meetings are facilitated.

Our commitment to decentralized governance (or a rotating leadership model), our overarching mission, and working through these challenges has led to our developing "Pathways of Peace," an initiative designed to cultivate a culture of harmony and understanding - internally (within our organization) and externally (within our community at large).

This program encourages compassionate conflict resolution, and we're inviting our community of communities to address the inevitable interpersonal challenges that come up between us with empathy and constructive growth.

As we develop this initiative, which will include an online workshop series, a resource center, and a network of professionals, we would love the support and wisdom that you have to offer.
