| Everyone in conflict has their story, in which they maintain innocence, justify behaviour and demonize adversaries... |
These stories cast people as victims, villains or
heroes, and trap all involved on a “drama triangle”
of confrontation.
This interactive presentation will provide you
with a new and practical lens through which to
better understand conflict.
You will also be invited to explore the nature of
forgiveness and its role in moving us beyond
confrontation and judgement to build relationships
and work collaboratively.

$15.00 Members, $20.00 Non-Members
Includes sandwiches, salad, coffee and tea.
Please RSVP by Wednesday March 15 to help us
make accurate catering arrangements. Thank you.
