Transform conflict into opportunity
5-day Conflict Facilitation Training Intensive
September 19th - 23rd, 2025
Fortna, convent of the Discalced Carmelites, Prague
This intensive training is for anyone who works with people or is interested in developing in this area, for example people working in psychology, coaching, counselling, management, HR,
education, social work, mediation and those in the creative fields.
Conflicts cycle, issues entangle. Whether as an individual, in a relationship or an organisation, it’s natural that we get swept up and find ourselves caught inside the very problems that we set out to solve.
The Worldwork* methodology offers a unique approach to facilitating awareness at points of escalating and cycling tensions and conflict. This includes noticing the repeating patterns and behaviours that escalate inside ourselves, and inside of our relationships and in teams and organisations. And from here, being able to facilitate the discovery of emerging and creative possibilities and pathways forward.
We invite you to join us on this 5 day training journey where we will practice methods that can support us to familiarize ourselves with our inner lives and experiences, which in turn can bring new perspectives on outer conflicts.
We will learn cutting edge skills to facilitate the interactions of the whole system, rather than only staying reactive.
MORE SPECIFICALLY WE WILL EXPLORE:
-
Practical facilitation tools and techniques including soft skills development necessary for facilitation
-
How to address power dynamics and hierarchies in relationships and teams
-
How our personal and collective histories impact on how we experience and act in the present
-
Identifying and working with both visible and invisible roles in the system
-
How to work on resolving escalated conflicts including working on the role of the one who doesn’t want to resolve the conflict
-
How to continually return to you as an individual and how you nurture your vitality as a facilitator
Training
Practical training, working individually, in couples, as well as in smaller and larger groups.
Inspiration
Be inspired by the WorldWork method and its applications, developed by Dr. A. Mindell.
Networking
Experience the unique atmosphere in the convent of Discalced Karmelits with people who are intrigued by facilitation.
