Gini Nelson's Santa Fe Transformative Conflict Conference

We’ll explore and experience the facts and implications of science, ethics and spirit for conflict in your life, with presentations by:

Gini Nelson, MA, JD, Principal, GN Conflict Management Services of Santa Fe, NM, and author of the Engaging Conflicts blog, will do workshops on what neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and cognitive psychology can tell us about conflict and stress, health, and spirit; and on styles of conflict and communication in conflict. GN Conflict Management Services is producing the Conference.
Kristine Paranica, JD, Administrative Director and Fellow of the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation, and Director of the University of North Dakota's Conflict Resolution Center, will do workshops on transformative mediation. The ISCT is also putting on the Transformative Mediation pre-conference training.
Victoria Pynchon, JD, LLM, Principal, Settle It Now! Dispute Resolution Services of Beverly Hills, CA, and author of the Settle It Now Negotiation Blog, will do workshops using improvisational theatrics.

Kristine Paranica will present the pre-conference training for the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation

(ISCT), a national think-tank supported by a consortium of universities.

Both events will take place in Santa Fe, NM, at the Upaya Zen Center, where you are urged to interact with the Center's diverse residential community of monks and lay people. You are also welcome to arrange to lodge at the Upaya Zen Center while in Santa Fe. Other events in Santa Fe at the time include the 17th Annual Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta (September 26-30) and the High Road Art Tour, exploring the arts and culture in the mountain villages of Northern New Mexico on the high road to Taos between Santa Fe & Taos (September 22-23, and 29-30).
