The Science of Conflicts: Why They Happen and How to Avoid Them
Recorded workshop from August 5, 2020
There’s no question: a global pandemic is a challenging time for everyone. But even in the best of times, our sacred spaces often become hotbeds of conflict. Congregants' competing needs and wants can boil over into conflicts that can impair the health of our communities. This live online event explores the psychology and neurobiology behind that cycle. Writer, speaker and podcaster Mike McHargue offers actionable strategies to de-escalate conflicts and invite people into empathy and reconciliation.

The year 2020 has taken a toll on many people of faith - some are experiencing many layers of frustration, isolation, and even grief. For those impacted by death or hospitalization, related to the pandemic or not, this season can feel particularly overwhelming.
