BEFRIENDING CONFLICT™

We, the Befriending Conflict team, believe that a small set of simple tools, based on awareness rather than power and prescriptions, can transform any conflict, no matter how grand or insignificant, into an opportunity for personal and organizational growth and sustainable collaboration. We believe that the tools we are offering, based on the principles of Process Work, World Work, and Deep Democracy (developed by Arnold Mindell and his colleagues), can enable all of us to enter into spicy, productive relationships while avoiding escalation, violence and many of the other negative aspects of conflict which too often make us avoid, rather than explore, potential and actual conflict.
