Finding Connection in Conflict Workshop, Sunday, April 23, 11:30-1 pm Led by Andrew Haas, Founder of Haas Mediation & Training. Have you ever left a dispute feeling like you weren't your best self wondering, "Why didn't I say that?" or "Why was that so painful?". Is there a way to become your best self and open opportunities for meaningful resolution? Discover why we often stray from who we want to be in conflict and how we can transform disruptive differences into opportunities for growth and direction. Through dynamic exercises, participants explore their beliefs about conflict, gain clarity about what people want during disputes, and learn skills that foster opportunities for deeper connection in conflict.
Thursday: Family Table - Group Spiritual Direction, April 27, 6:30-8:30 pm “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.” ― David W. Augsburger. In group spiritual direction, we prayerfully listen and hold space for the stories we carry, with one ear attuned to God and one attuned to each other. It is a simple yet powerful practice of listening in community. We start with food (of course) then move into groups of three to four people, then end with a debrief of the experience. Try it even once! RSVP to clee@stpeterschelsea.org
