Constructive Conflict, Fierce Vulnerability: Learn to Disagree Without Being Disagreeable
Why can’t we all just get along? In our personal lives and in the public sphere, the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable seems to have been lost.
If you find you're having unpleasant battles that create too much heat and too little light, or you're avoiding fraught discussions entirely, then come to this experiential event to learn the skill of nonviolent conflict management from Kazu Haga, the author of the acclaimed books "Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm" and "Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse." Find out how to deal with conflict in a way that repairs and deepens relationships instead of breeding resentment and anger.
Kazu Haga is one of the most experienced trainers of Kingian nonviolence, which is derived from the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He'll show us the framework and outline a few specific steps for defusing an argument in ways that we can put to immediate use in our lives. We'll practice a few exercises and come away with a solid start and a path to better relationships and leadership.
This will also be a good opportunity to meet Haga and others interested in "fierce vulnerability" in our personal, organizational and political lives. Maybe even have dinner afterward at a nearby restaurant!
Kazu Haga is the author of "Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm" and "Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse"; he has more than 20 years' experience training people to use nonviolence interpersonally and in civil resistance movements.
