Cooperating in Conflict: Facilitating Inner Conflict
As unpleasant as conflict may be, beneath it lays the key to security and cooperation. Conflicts can lead us to our common root and become a swift path to self-knowledge, relationship and community. Process Work focuses on awareness rather than action as a tool for unlocking conflict’s potential. It teaches us to harness altered states as powerful tools for transformation. Its model of rank and privilege provides a path to identifying with the deepest source of power, while preventing escalation.
This is a three part series. While it is recommended that the series be taken in its entirety, individual modules may be taken on their own.

Night Asylum: Love, Streetpower and Deep Democracy
We will learn together with individuals who live on the margin of society to celebrate the inexplicability of life, to value the powerful experiences in our own “nightlives” and to understand nature’s own moral code. Class format includes direct street-work, inner work, dyads, participant interviews, relationship work andgroup process. We learn as therapists, coaches and facilitators to work on the inner conflict between social acceptance and following the unknown, and last but not least develop our streetpower.
