Transforming Conflict Workshop

Sharpham Trust 15th March 10-4pm

Conflict and the resulting sense of being separate, is at the heart of many of the social, professional and ecological challenges we face. Conflict can be devastating, so finding ways to make conflict an opportunity for change and connection can be a liberating and empowering experience.

This one day workshop hosted by Sharpham Trust will help you explore:

• How conflict can become a barrier to being in a productive relationship
• Stories of conflict and why we react as we do when we meet it
• How conflict can be an opportunity for change

Engaging in a range of creative and interactive approaches you will share, explore, transform specific areas of conflict that you face, whether in personal or professional contexts. You will emerge from this workshop more able to work with your own internal conflicts and as a result more able to manage conflict in other areas of your life. The workshop will help you recognise and understand how and where conflict shows itself and offer you new tools to manage and transform it. This workshop is open to anyone who would benefit from developing a better relationship with conflict.

The workshop will be led by Ben Yeger from Encounters Arts, who has been engaged in a deep inquiry into conflict through a range of disciplines. Ben is also the UK representative of Combatants for Peace a bi-national Palestian and Israeli non-violent peace movement hosted in the UK by Encounters. He has given a recent Ted Talk called Humanising the Enemy.

The workshop will be on the 15th March from 10am-4pm. For bookings visit Sharpham Trust or phone (01803) 732542.
