Transformational Alliances: Building Authentic Cross-Cultural Collaborative Relationships

April 20, 2010toApril 21, 2010

Collaborative relationships require cultural competency—skillfully guiding group and self to authentic relationships across differences that acknowledge and address power imbalances.

In this 2‐day deeply interactive workshop participants will learn a framework for alliance building, social change and emotional healing that deepens trust and safety. Modeling collaborative co‐facilitation, you will benefit from the knowledge and guidance of two facilitator‐trainers. Built around a unique listening practice and framework that clearly explains the dynamics of institutional power, you will join others on a life‐changing journey to explore the effects of oppression, while fostering understanding and collaboration to enhance your practice as a facilitator.
