Foundations for Personal and Collective Healing

Why are relationships so challenging to maintain?

What are the root causes of social division and incivility?

What are the underpinnings of healthy relationships and what practical steps I can take?

How would deeper, more authentic relationships improve my quality of life and my contributions to the healing of the world?

If these questions interest you, please join us for an exploration of paradigm shifting ways of being and relating. While we all know the challenges inherent in interpersonal relationships and conflict, the evolutionary imperative—the necessity for our very survival—of more conscious, mature, and resilient relationships receives scant attention. Yet it seems clear that stepping into this challenge is required if we are to co-create a more beautiful world and truly thrive as individuals and communities.

This online series is for anyone who wants to realize their deepest longings for connection and belonging, while making their contributions to the healing of the world as transformational and sustainable as possible. In these six 90-minute sessions you’ll gain clarity on: the importance of mature human relationships in personal and collective healing, what your deepest relational longings are, what limits you and why, and practical steps for healing and empowerment.

In this series you will:

• • Learn the basics of trauma and explore the deep context of personal, interpersonal and collective healing;
  • Strengthen your relational mindset and capacities through the five foundations of regenerative relationships, the four capacities of the peacemaker, and the two core values of nonviolence;
  • Build your communication skills;
  • Increase your ability to see the Big Picture and hold paradox;
  • Explore the foundations of restorative justice; and
  • Come away with skills and tools you can apply to all your relationships and groups.

Each session will include experiential components where you will strengthen your capacities for connection. There will be scenario practice, open discussions, and an online platform for deepening dialogue and community building in between sessions.
