Transformative Negotiation: Reimagining Conflict Through Narration and Dream Work
The Esalen Institute
November 6 - 8, 2026
I’m delighted to be teaching a new class with Sarah Federman at the Esalen Institute this November. Together, we will explore a different way of meeting conflict — one that begins with curiosity.
We will listen for the narratives that shape our experience and engage the imagination as a resource for transformation, exploring how conflict can be approached not only as a story we tell, but as a waking dream.
In this integrated approach, narration and dreamwork move together to reveal how meaning is made, how it can shift, and how new pathways can emerge if we loosen our grip on a single way of seeing.
Topics include:
-
Conflict Narration and Transformation
-
Peace Work as Dream WorkTM
Together, these practices invite a spacious and creative relationship to conflict that can be lived and applied across the many domains of our lives.
At the intersection of spirit and praxis, this workshop takes a dignity-centered approach and unfolds through a blend of lectures and experiential group work, providing concrete tools for personal and professional use.
