I have learnt that some communication and stepping back can stop a situation instead of the conflict becoming violent.

Good insight into my (and others’) reactions to conflict and how we can best deal with situations in order to achieve non-violent outcomes.

A good understanding of self-awareness and triggers, also steps to help stop situations escalating into violence.

The workshop showed me some new skills when dealing with difficult situations and understanding feelings and emotions.

I learnt strategies to avoid and solve conflicts; many ways to control yourself; belief in myself – the first step to change

The agendas are varied and interesting, guiding groups into real interaction and self-realisation. Sharing and listening to people’s stories was so special. I have seen so much beauty, honesty and humour. I feel privileged to have been here.

The highlight has been the wonderful feeling of goodwill, sharing, love, honesty and conviviality.
