At a time where polarization is heightened, taking larger, more inclusive perspectives is not only helpful, but necessary. In this session, we invited participants into a powerful experience that can shift our options as mediators and conflict practitioners while working with groups threatened by identity differences.

We guided them through the Evolving Worldview’s process, a tour of the four key worldviews: egocentric, ethnocentric, worldcentric, and kosmocentric.

In this recorded session:

• You’ll learn about the genius and limitations of each worldview, and be able to bring a more integral perspective when navigating and including the experiences present for the people you work with.

• You will understand that with each shift in worldview, another aspect of reality comes into view, which grows our capacity to work with complexity in conflict situations.

• You will appreciate how the tension between worldviews can foster growth.
