REPORT | FIN | Challenging Encounters | Friday 22 April 2016 | 10am -3pm

[Edited extract from public address]

A dynamic workshop on how to manage conflict within a group or with public.

According to Groupwork Institute of Australia, their approach has 2 levels: a wide range of practical skills and processes that are easily understood; and building Emotional Intelligence so people can readily apply these skills and processes to the wide range of challenges encountered in daily living.

Facilitator Nancy Nunez skillfully navigated participants through the choppy waters of Challenging Encounters. Dynamic presentation style, grounded in experience and humour, Nancy imparted, embodied and demonstration useful skills (or a refresher) on how to manage conflict within a group or with public.

The group explored Setting Meeting Rules, Defining Concepts, Collaborative Practice, Community of Selves, Micro Skills for Compassionate Communication, Hearable Messages Daily and Heart Listening.

Also, a great chance to connect with other interfaith networkers in the beautiful bushland setting of Brahma Kumaris Centre for Spiritual Learning.

On behalf of Federation of Indian Origin Multi-Faith Organisation (FIMO), Buddhist Council Victoria Interfaith (bINTER) and Glen Eira Interfaith Network (GEIFN), thankyou to organisers for having us at this place to take part in this presentation, skilful programming, food and collective pride, received with gratitude.
