Conflict and Self
Format: In-person workshop
Do you ever feel like your understanding of conflict and your reaction to it don’t align? Our individual mindsets to conflict play a big role in how we respond in moments of tension and opposition. In this workshop, participants will lean in with curiosity about how they respond to conflict, how they approach conflict, and how our narratives play out. Through individual reflection, small and large group discussion, and workplace conflict case studies, participants will gain tools to approaching conflict productively and authentically.
Keeping Well at Work: Nidra Nap
Format: In-person class
Give your mind and body a break! Yoga Nidra is a style of meditation/relaxation that can be an effective way to reset during the workday. In this in-person session, facilitator Monika Kitor will explain what yoga Nidra is, how it works, and the importance of rest for our bodies and how rest works against stress during the day. Then Monika will lead everyone through a short Nidra session and debrief. This session is done lying down to help ease the body.
Note: Due to the tranquil environment needed for this session, we are requesting that participants arrive no later than 11:20 a.m.
