Session Overview
We use many lenses to make sense of the world we inhabit. This session will construct a lens using concepts of escalation and de-escalation and their application to both interpersonal and systemic relationships. We will use these concepts to identify elements of our communities which create conflict and explore alternatives to facilitate connection and understanding.
