Leading with Love: Reframing Conflict & Accountability

Conflict is everywhere, yet many of us are adverse to confronting it. Join us for a teach-in about how conflict can transform our relationships and communities for the better.

This session utilizes the teachings of Dr. King’s philosophy of Nonviolence and Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication.

About Kingian Nonviolence (KNV):

KNV is the philosophy and strategy that Dr. King utilized in organizing the Civil Rights movements. Since his passing, many of his close friends and allies took to teaching and passing down this philosophy.

About Nonviolent Communication (NVC):

NVC is a language and tool developed by the late Dr. Marshall Rosenberg to answer the question: “why do people hurt each other”? It’s a communication framework that can help us resolve conflicts in a positive way.

Participants should come to the session with a conflict they’d like to explore, and ideally, that they would want to share. Sharing is encouraged, but not required.
