Event Description: The purpose of this workshop is to work creatively with conflict as a pathway to peace. You will have an opportunity to discover and practice the most effective ways of giving yourself time and space to choose between escalating a potential conflict or dissolving it before it starts. This experiential workshop provides a variety of interactive exercises enabling you to practice stopping in the midst of conflict long enough to tap inner sources of creativity, wisdom and playfulness and be peace in an instant. You will also be able to practice seeing things as they are, both inwardly and outwardly, and choosing based on what’s most important to you in the moment. Our aim is to discover new insights and actions for living our full potential from moment to moment. 

The full day session will introduce key principles and tools that enable you to be peace regardless of the personal or collective circumstances that may be disturbing you in the present. The 3 evening sessions will focus on the following themes:

Session 1: Seeing things as they are in the present.
Session 2: Tapping inner sources of playfulness, wisdom and creativity.
Session 3: Being Peace with yourself and others.
