Join local contemplative instructor Geoff Cox for a session exploring the use of meditative practices in conflict transformation. We will learn how to use mindfulness to understand our own relationship to conflict and how to transform conflict into an opportunity for creativity, growth, and connection. The session will include a short talk, a meditative practice session, and time for discussion. No prior experience with meditative practices is necessary.
