Schedule: Monday, November 18, 6:30-8:00 p.m. (please note this is a new date)
Location: Mullan Board Room
Limit: 20 participants

“Being relational is an approach to a life where we have more to think about than our material needs and desires; where the health of our soul increases with loving ourselves and other people; a world where it’s not about how much wealth and comfort and power we can acquire.” — Louise Phipps Senft, Founder and CEO of Baltimore Mediation & McDonogh Parent

Conflict between people is unavoidable, but we cannot avoid being in relation with others. So what do we do? Join Louise Phipps Senft, author of the book, Being Relational: The Seven Ways to Quality Interaction and Lasting Change, for an experiential course on how to work through conflict in productive and transformative ways. 

The course will have participants engage with a real, timely conflict with attendees playing key roles in the conflict and its resolution. The hope is that, by the end of the session, you have a clear sense of how transformational mediation works — an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. 

All participants will receive Phipps Senft's book. Space is limited, so please register here.
