MEN IN TOUCH
Men sharing caring touch
Transforming
Conflict to Connection
Wednesdays, Nov 17 - Dec 8, 6pm Pacific
This Level 2 course is a Deeper Dive into Authentic Relating.
Expanding on your previous experience*, we will hone our skills of empathic listening, gently explore our comfort zone by vulnerably revealing more of our inner emotional depth, and cultivate a child-like curiosity about ourselves and one another. “People become interesting when you become interested.”

“Authentic Relating embraces both sides of any polarity...Once we can learn the art of being able to hold or appreciate multiple perspectives, a tremendous amount of relational power and energy become available…”
“Conflict is an opportunity...to truly know ourselves and others by exploring the needs and values underneath our differing perspectives.”
~ from ”Conflict = Energy” by Jason Digges
