"Fast slow" Conflict Resolution — 4/5 in "Heart of Repair" Series

This workshop is especially but not exclusively for aspiring and established conflict resolution practitioners who want to practice getting to the heart of the conflict.

The heart of the Mendful promise is to resolve conflicts at the speed of love. Often this means interrupting someone to get underneath stories, judgments, and interpretations, to unearth the beautiful human vulnerability underneath. We call this internal reference.

This can be difficult, since we’re conditioned in this U.S. culture to externally reference those stories, judgments, and interpretations, reinforcing the notions that we're “right.”

So we slow down the external noise in order toconnect to each other’s internal reality.

Once we do this, resolution comes much faster. (Hence the name “fast slow” conflict resolution.

In this workshop, we’ll:

• Demonstrate a fast slow conflict resolution
• Teach some basic tools for doing this yourself
• Practice those tools in small groups

You’ll come away with a method for doing a "fast slow" loving intervention next time you or someone else is caught up in a conflict.

The training can lead to certification as a Mendful Conflict Resolution Coach (MCRC). Once certified, MCRCs can work within the Mendful app, earning money providing conflict resolution sessions to Mendful customers.

Again, each online session is recorded, and the recordings will be made available to all registrants of that session, and on the Mendful website.
