In the
workshop "Community Conflict Transformation", Fran will
draw upon her experiences in nonviolence and social forgiveness to
discuss ways of reducing the destructive 'us and them' separation
between groups entrenched in conflict. More than an intellectual outline
of the issues, the workshop will take participants into the very heart
of social healing, and will explore the spiritual dilemmas involved
in working for peace and nonviolence as a transformational energy.
Fran will explore the metaphor of "thinking like water"
to describe the power, flexibility, resilience, and patience involved
in working for social change.
