July 12: Conflict Without Contempt
Conflict is often presented as a negative experience to avoid, which locks down creativity and prevents necessary conversations from taking place. Through interactive exercises, discussion, and role play, this workshop focuses on:
• Exploring thoughts and people who we associate
with conflict
• Discussing different conflict resolution frameworks
• Exploring the relationship between trust, creativity,
and conflict

This experiential workshop includes hands-on activities, small group and large group conversations.

August 02: Cultural Humility
Through interactive exercises, this workshop supports understanding of a process-oriented mindset in relation to other cultures. Cultural Humility is a discipline of seeking to understand in the spirit of inquiry rather than from a sense of embarrassment or shame. This workshop will introduce tools related to systems thinking and perspectives, to support understanding of systemic issues and clues to create systemic change.
Registration Closed

August 09: Technology and Mental Health
Smartphones and social media have become major parts of our lives. They are designed using cutting edge research about how human brains and attention spans work to make them incredibly compelling, impacting mental health and relationships especially when families clash over their use. These conflicts can offer opportunities for dialogue about values and about coexisting with care in a technologically dynamic world. We’ll review some of the research on smartphones and discuss ideas for optimal responses.
