Participate in a guided meditation practice to get your week started on a positive note. Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment, and eventually you may start to better understand them as well.

Whether a natural result of being human or an intentional creation, the air seems to be filled with the behavior and language of conflict. Most individuals lose employment not from lack of ability to “do the job” but from lack of ability to get along with others.
This interactive workshop will help participants learn to listen carefully to others, and to themselves. Techniques and language clues will be shared to help an individual or group navigate the “Levels and Momentum of Conflict” and slice through the “Golf Ball of Perception and Power.”
W. Dale Stewart has spent a lifetime of working with individuals and groups as a mediator, police detective, consultant and ordained minister. He has led conflict resolution workshops in the U.S. and Canada, as has served as a mediator with courts throughout Missouri.
