Nina BarnesFeatured WorkshopTransformational Conflict
Jesus said, "Blessed are the Peacemakers , for they will be called children of God" (MT 5:9) Yet, the process of making peace - working to achieve genuine peace - can be intimidating! Still, every conflict is an opportunity - an invitation - to grow spiritually. The outcome will nurture healing in our lives, our families, our broader communities - even the world. This workshop will explore barriers and ways forward in learning to navigate conflict with both courage and kindness.
