Conflict can be positive and beneficial. No one wants a world where everyone agrees all the time. But conflict often arises unnecessarily and artificially, causing harm and providing no benefit. This is due to using aggression as a shield against a complex world.

Through talks, meditations and group exercises, this workshop will explore the four ways that aggressive speech escalates into conflict. By learning to interrupt these toxic patterns of aggression at each step, we can bring greater openness to our relationships and communities, transforming a world of artificial conflict into a world that is connected.
