Who likes conflict? Almost no one. But it seems to be an unavoidable part of life. Handled skillfully, conflict can lead to transformation, intimacy, understanding, reduced tension, as well as better relationships, teamwork and community. How can we better engage in conflicts and facilitate them?

This workshop combines brief theoretical lecture, discussion, skill building exercises, and solo, partnered, small group and large group activities.

This workshop is for any individual who struggles with conflict, including parents, partners, team members, leaders, social activists, therapists, and facilitators. But most of all, you.

• Learn and practice Process Work theory and tools concerning conflict facilitation
• Explore the heart that can hold all sides
• Find our conflict facilitation superpower
• Expand inner diversity
• Practice role awareness and role switching
• Contact our values and visions concerning conflict

WHAT

90 min Live Supervision Class online – once a month from October 2019 through January 2020.

This is how it works. Someone volunteers to be a client, and someone volunteers to facilitate the client’s process. Lane is there to hold the space, give tips to the facilitator, and help everyone look at what is happening through the lens of Process Work. There’s some time at the end for questions, as well as feedback for the facilitator.

We often touch on:

• process theory,

• process structure,

• metaskills,

• facilitator’s edges,

• primary and secondary therapeutic styles,

• and growing edges,

• as well as trauma work

• and other advanced aspects of Process Work.

Each meeting is divided into:

• 60 min work with the client from the group with Lane’s feedback and help.

• 30 min discussion, comments, sharing

We often have a very international group that spans continents and nationalities

In response to the epidemic of Black People being killed by police officers, and in response to the open racism and xenophobia demonstrated by Trump and his supporters nationwide, I would like to invite you to a FREE SERIES ON WHITE PRIVILEGE.

Process Work teaches us that privilege creates unconsciousness. And one of the biggest privileges is to not have to suffer about a given issue on a daily basis.

But we can do something about it. Let’s meet together to

• help each other wake up to the ways we benefit from being white
• help each other be non-defensive and open to learn about the spots where we may be unconscious about our white privilege
• be allies to one another so we can be better allies to People of Color

Process Work’s:

• theory of rank will help us understand our own privilege
• facilitation tools will help us unfold and deepen our experiences
• trust in the wisdom of the process will help us relax when tensions arise

This space will be

• non-judgmental : we won’t be chastised for our unconsciousness since we are all unconscious in some way
• courageous: we won’t shy away from difficult topics or hard conversations.
• heartful: we’ll remember each other’s wholeness, and not identify one another with the potentially hurtful things that live inside us.
• a place we can grow and learn together, so we can be part of the solution.

This series is for White People. We will meet together to support our ability to reveal and heal. Being together means we can expose our unconsciousness without harming People of Color (which often happens without our awareness). White People doing this work together is an important step to figure out how to bring our goodness while increasing our consciousness of how White Privilege is playing out.

This is a free series. Space is limited so please register.

(Presented by Integrative Mediation Bay Area & Collaborative Practice Marin)

This course will help you work effectively with difficult interpersonal dynamics that are often at the core of impasse and high conflict. It will show you how to see and decipher things you would not normally notice, like non-verbal signals, and the presence of issues of rank and privilege, which can lead to both impasse and escalation. It will give you tools to navigate difficulties that frequently arise in your cases, and a lens to help you reframe and understand these difficulties. This course will also demonstrate how these same skills and concepts can be used to improve your work in Collaborative and Integrative Mediation teams as well as in your practice groups. The day will include thought-provoking case examples, role play, and hands-on learning.

This workshop is designed to help you:
1. Spot, understand, and work with clients’ non-verbal signals and double-signals.
2. Comprehend and modulate clients’ escalation and de-escalation, cross-blaming and symmetrical accusations.
3. Navigate clients’ roles, such as their tendency to identify as the aggrieved party and disown their own power and impact; the tendency of roles to flip and switch; and how these roles form part of a greater system.
4. Recognize and work effectively with dynamics of rank and privilege that may lead to heightened conflict and tension in Mediation and Collaborative Practice cases.
5. Address some of these same dynamics in your own Collaborative and Integrative Mediation teams and practice groups—e.g., the question of “non-locality,” which is when something that needs surfacing with the clients ends up surfacing within the team.
