The Spiritual Cost of Conflict - Ken Cloke
This program will explore the spiritual cost of conflict, as well as its spiritual value. “[E]very conflict represents a spiritual crisis in the lives of its participants, and therefore, potentially, a path to spiritual learning and transcendence.” Kenneth Cloke, Into the Heart of Conflict:: A Guide to Resolution Transformation and Transcendence (to be published in 2006).

Why We Do What We Do: Accessing the Greater Vision of Our Work - JoAnne Kellert
Most of us are drawn to the field of mediation and/or conflict resolution from a deep inner place that sees the greater potential that exists in every conflict. This program will look at the importance of establishing a clear vision and purpose for your work, and how this can lay the foundation for building a successful mediation practice or other career in the conflict resolution field.

"Reflective Practice - Advanced Mediator Development - Daniel Bowling and Dana Curtis
The task of becoming a mediator begins with the development of specific skills and, for serious mediators, then moves into an interest in developing an understanding of mediation theory. To realize our potential as mediators, we must shift our focus to developing our personal qualities as mediators – an area too often neglected in our practice. Who we are as human beings has tremendous impact on what happens in mediation, and developing the ability to reflect on our experience and mistakes, to learn and to translate this learning into action is essential to a vital personal and professional life. Daniel Bowling and Dana Curtis will guide a discussion of these important distinctions and offer approaches to developing our mediator qualities through reflective practice.
