Pop-up Facilitation: Conflict cafe in everyday life, work and dreams

Registration here: https://forms.gle/cfY3vpg5PYp1QCJz6

Conflict doesn’t wait for the right moment. It shows up at the kitchen table, in the team meeting, in body symptoms, relationship hesitations and irritations, and in the dream you woke from at 3am. It’s already in motion — in the body, between people, in the field around us.

In this three-day seminar we liken facilitating conflict to a pop-up café — a freshly ground triple espresso or a calming chamomile tea, depending on who you are and how you show up, in the middle of all of it.

Drawing on Process Work in the lineage of Arnold Mindell and the applied approaches of Max and Ellen Schupbach, we’ll work with three types of conflict information:

• tiny signals that appear before a conflict fully appears;
• long-term conflicts you don’t want to touch;
• and tensions/conflicts you wish you could address but don’t yet know how.

We’ll practice the awareness moves that become available when you stop managing conflict and start getting curious.

Everyday life. Work. Dreams. All three are on the menu.

This seminar is experiential education.

How the three days work: Days 1 and 2 focus on the what and the why — building skills, attitudes and practices. Day 3 is a practice day — working live, with support and guidance, to hone your own area of facilitation interest, in the middle, in pop-up café style.

For those who like to read beforehand: The Leader as Martial Artist and The Leader’s 2nd Training, both by Arnold Mindell, are wonderful companions to this seminar.

For facilitators, coaches, educators, conflict resolvers, leaders, therapists, and curious humans. Process Work background welcome but not required.

What to expect: experiential exercises, short theoretical presentations to illuminate the experiential aspects, small and large group interactions
