About the Course
We can't erase conflict from any levels of human experience, but we can transform it from destructive to creative one.
Based on Process Work Psychology, developed by Dr. Arnold Mindell, in this module, we will develop our senses, awareness, and facilitation skills, in transforming many levels of conflict, including internal, interpersonal, and large group conflict. Process Work is a holistically psychotherapeutic paradigm based on many roots : Quantum Physics, Taoism, Jungian, Sharmanism; It also provide practical methodologies in working with many areas of life from inner work, body symptom work, family work, relationship work, organizational work, inter-ethnic/religious/race work, etc.
Many kinds of conflict happen because stuckness, or some stuffs unprocessed. We will learn to process them by tracking various subtle signals as clues to transformation, based on the principle that what's in the way is the way. Ultimately, we will learn how to flow and dance with the beauty and heat of tension, confrontation, and our own fear in order to reach out to the more deeper shared experience and sustainably common solution.
