SUMMARY:Compassionate Accountable Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 13\, 14\, and 17\, 10:30am-2:30pm Eastern Time \nCompassionate Accountable Conversations is a three-day training series preparing individuals\, communities\, organizations\, and coalitions that are strengthening their transformative work towards healing and equity-based relationships in divisive times. Sometimes we engage with people who are exhibiting habits of dominance within their interpersonal conflict. We may also notice these habits within our own interventions. When this happens\, we need to be prepared to hold Compassionate Accountable Conversations that help interrupt dominance patterns and safely create the conditions where change becomes possible.
