Conflict occurs when two ideas or desires or perspectives don’t match up, and our natural response is to formulate a “story” about what’s occurring to help us feel safe. Unfortunately these stories can be very limited in perspective and even unhealthy.
When we risk sharing our stories with one another amidst conflict:
- we broaden our perspective, and
- deepen our understanding.
- We grow our awareness as a powerful way to learn,
- and a powerful way to understand not only each other,
- but also the issues or desires at hand.
This allows us to come to a place of compassion at minimum, and at best a place of collaboration and reconciliation for good. Sue and Dave will share their own example and perspective to help you share your stories in healthy and helpful ways to resolve conflict.
If you find you do need help, we’re here for you.

Or bring your friend, partner or family member and join us for our “Hands On Communication Workshop” Tuesday April 28 7pm pst.
