Self-Reflection in Action for Conflict Professionals: Bringing the Depth of Who We Are to Our Work with Norman Fischer
(May. 22)
New York, NY
**This program is on a waitlist status. Please call 212-501-4044 if you would like to register. In these Self-Reflection programs, we seek to learn together about connecting with the deeper impulses that fuel our commitments to working with people in conflict -- such as compassion and the search for greater self understanding and mutual understanding. We also learn about dealing with the tendencies that can get in the way, such as judgmentalness, anger and the desire for control, and what underlies these. While an appreciation for the deeper motivations, emotions and currents that underlie our work with conflict has always been a part of the Center’s approach, we have been exploring and integrating this dimension more and more into our work with conflict.
