At a time where polarization is heightened, taking larger, more inclusive perspectives is not only helpful, but necessary.

In this session, Diane, Gabe and I invited participants into a powerful experience to demonstrate how we 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.
