Let Us Create a Refuge: Conditions for Thriving in Difficult Times - CEU 3

In this workshop we will create conditions for authentic, deep connection. Creating refuge is about intentional, durable practices of relating including transforming conflict, informed empathy, resonance, and collective vitality. 

"I have a vision of social movement as sanctuary. Not a tiny perfectionist utopia behind miles of barbed wire and walls and fences and tests and judgments and righteousness. But a vast sanctuary where our experiences as humans who have experienced and caused harm are met with centered grounded invitations to grow."– Adrienne Maree Brown

OBJECTIVES:

  • Participants will select two interactional practices that lead to durable connection.
  • Participants will identify and explore conditions that lead to thriving relational culture.
  • Participants will be able to name and explain two interventions for transforming conflict.
