Conflict is pervasive. Though we fear it, we cannot escape it. From Gandhi, Jung and Jesus we learn a profound truth: we cannot achieve wholeness without it. We must lean into conflict to discover whom we are at a deeper level, to create better relationships with others and to live in community.

Using a multimedia presentation, Peter Hart will explore with us how we can journey on a spiritual quest for wholeness inspired by the insights of Gandhi, Jung, Jesus and Socrates and enriched by the findings of modern science in areas such as emotion, neural pathways, intuition and our adaptive unconscious.

The presentation will conclude with practical strategies for dealing with conflict in ways that help us move in the direction of wholeness.

Peter C. Hart is President of Dialoggers, Inc. He develops courses and simulations about negotiation and collaboration that are offered at Hope College and are available online at www.conflictlab.com.
