ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
In a time marked by global strife, political polarization, and identity-based conflict, new models for conflict transformation and relationship repair are needed more badly than ever. In this workshop qualified Mediator and Somatic Coach Kai Cheng Thom will present an introduction to her Loving Justice model, an emergent strategy for healing relationships and crises of the soul.
Kai will explore the dynamics of interpersonal conflict as a dance between two opposing forces: love and rupture. By acknowledging the interconnectedness of conflict and love, participants will learn how to navigate difficult conversations with grace, curiosity, and empathy. This workshop is designed to provide a safe and supportive space for participants to deepen their understanding of conflict resolution, develop new skills for managing conflict, and foster a deeper sense of connection and compassion with others.
“The worst part of you has always been trying to find its way back to love. And the worst part of your enemy and oppressor is also trying to find its way back to love.”
— KAI CHENG THOM
