Transforming Conflict into Connection Series

​Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but how we respond to it can either create deeper understanding or drive us further apart. The way we listen and speak during moments of tension can shape the strength of connections with friends, family, children, coworkers, even ourselves. 

​In these Transforming Conflict into Connection workshops, we’ll take a deep and clear-hearted look at conflict: why it arises, how we typically respond, and how we can approach it more skillfully. We'll work on cultivating your inner clarity and confidence needed to show up maturely and compassionately, even in challenging moments. We will learn:

• ​How to transform our perspective on conflicts

• ​How to talk about conflict

• ​How to embed the qualities of skillful speech (truthful, useful, timely, and kind)

• ​How to approach resolution without compromising one’s values

• ​When is it wiser to pause 

​Each class will center around different approaches to responding to conflict including Non-Violent Communication, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Difficult Conversations, Tantrik and Buddhist traditions.

​Classes are 10am - 12pm, the 2nd Tuesday of the month, in person and online, running from October - March.

​Each session is hosted by Alejandra Siroka M.A., a transformative communication teacher and coach and host of the Language Alchemy Podcast, who’s using her studies in socio- and psycholinguistics, yoga and non-dualistic Eastern philosophies, mindfulness, Non-violent communication, neurobiology, Buddhist psychology and Neuro Linguistic Programming to teach how language and communication shape our lives and relationships.
