If you’re like most people, you’re already working hard to address conflicts that are getting in the way of you thriving.
Maybe you’ve followed some organizational protocol for processing conflict. Perhaps you’ve tried to transform yourself to try to show up more skillfully. Or maybe you’ve just tried to ignore the tension, hoping it’ll go away.
Sometimes these approaches have helped, but overall, things still feel hard, like there are big blocks in your work, your collaborations, in moving towards your full potential.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Your organization is committed to inspiring, transformative work in your community. But burnout and internal dynamics fueled by systemic oppression and communication pitfalls are breaking down trust and getting in the way. You need more healing and support to keep your work from fizzling out.
You’ve been working for months in what finally feels like your political home, doing movement work that gives you a sense of purpose and belonging. Things are going smoothly until personal trauma gets stirred up, and you are unable to move forward.
You’ve always dreamed of living collectively, and you’ve joined a project that feels like a good fit. But interpersonal dynamics, issues of power and privilege, and divergent visions are wearing on your connections and consuming way too much of the group’s time and energy.
You’re excited to explore polyamory as a relationship structure that feels exciting and aligned to you. But when trust is broken, you’re exhausted by the sheer quantity of conflict processing time, and demoralized by the way it brings everyone intoto the precipice of their deepest early wounds.
You have a deep passion for social justice, and know you have so many skills that would support the movements you are a part of. But you’re heartbroken at the ways your own patterns and trauma keeps getting in the way of your work showing up.
Your spiritual community has been such a nourishing anchor and safe space for you, but you are devastated as egregious harm between members of this community comes to light.
If you see yourself in these stories, maybe you’re experiencing some softening, maybe even a glimmer of hope.
