We reside in a rapidly evolving social landscape, where our previously held beliefs may have shifted or become more pronounced. Regardless of our stances on various topics, we often encounter conflicts with those around us. Is it possible to have productive discussions about our differences? If so, how can we go about it effectively?
 
This mini-Immersion series invites you to delve into mastering the skill of navigating challenging conversations constructively. Explore identifying your triggers, enhancing your understanding of differing perspectives, and honing your listening skills. Based on the Jewish concepts of making debate possible and fruitful, taught by Adva Chattler (MA, Conflict Resolution and Management) of Ritualwell and a Makhloket Matters fellow, you will be able to look at moments of conflict and decide upon your approach to it – not just respond at a heat of the moment. At the end of this Immersion, you will be able to leave with practical tools to face difficult conversation, wherever they meet you.
 
Special guest speakers: Rosalie Gerut (MA) and Martina Emme (PhD), co-writers of the book “Journeys of Transformation: Confronting the Legacies of Conflict, War and Genocide” describing their journey as descendants of Holocaust survivors and Nazi supporters who participating in dialogue groups that encouraged healing and growth on both sides.
 
All sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
