In the heat of conflict, how can you deal with seemingly contradictory claims of truth?  What about expressions of rage and the destructive impulses that might accompany it?  How can you move past the blocks to deep listening and open communication?  What to do with the enemy images parties so tenaciously hold of each other?  Collaborative communication is a model for clear communication, authentic human connection, and empathic understanding that has supported effective conflict resolution in a wide variety of international and domestic contexts.  This course will offer these skills and perspectives to empower participants to understand and engage constructively with these bewildering dynamics.  The course will use a wide variety of interactive activities and self-reflective exercises to bring the model to life and support deep experiential learning.
