Sunday, February 23, 2025 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM PT (time off for lunch)
At ChoboJi Zen Practice Center- Seattle, WA
Our CHOICE workshop is about creating a reflective space where we can explore philosophical perspectives and choices that go beyond right and wrong and into the realm of interdependent relationship. Based upon the principles of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, this workshop gives us tools for investigating the life-serving motivation embedded in ideas that sometimes appear as polar opposites. This sheds light on a consciousness that leads to self-responsibility, connection, and collaboration, helping us evolve skills with conflict resolution, effective communication, and decision making.
Kathleen co-authored, with her colleague, the late Jared Finkelstein, our workshop book Choice: A Field Guide for Navigating the Polarization of Our World and Living Interdependently. Free copies will be provided.
Led by Kathleen Macferran
