How to have difficult conversations with the people we love.
Navigating difficult conversations can often feel treacherous, especially with loved ones. Emotions are high, voices are raised, silence becomes awkward. Understanding conflict, and learning to manage it effectively, can significantly impact the course these conversations take. In this workshop, you will begin to conceptualize conflict as an opportunity for growth by learning the different “languages” we use to engage with conflict, the factors that contribute to escalation, and strategies for de-escalation. In doing so, we can better advocate for our own needs while recognizing and understanding the needs of others. By shining a light on conflict we can step a little more confidently into the domain of difficult conversations.

Curious about learning what Restorative Justice is and how to use it in your communities? Join us for this workshop to find out!
Folks who are curious about learning what Restorative Justice is and connecting with people passionate about transforming their communities should consider attending this TEDxCUSalon workshop. In this session, we will dive deep into the restorative paradigm by challenging ourselves to assume that everyone’s core self is good and built for meaningful connection. Come ready to tackle messy, unwieldy problems with five guiding words: Relationship, Respect, Responsibility, Repair, and Reintegration.
This TEDxCUSalon is done in partnership with the Restorative Justice Program at the University of Colorado Boulder.
This TEDxCUSalon will be guided by Tyler Keyworth and Rachel Larsen.
