Over five intensive, immersive days, you’ll gain new insights, strategies and skills to turn destructive conflict into a catalyst for change.

The 5 Day Format: Experiential, Personal, Strategic

This is not a lecture series. It’s hands-on, real-time learning with peers who are also on the frontlines of conservation conflict. You’ll engage in:

  • Small group exercises

  • Case study analysis

  • Process design practice

  • One-on-one and multi-party conflict simulations

  • Honest, courageous conversation

What you’ll walk away with

We recognize that you’re already doing powerful work.

This is simply an opportunity to deepen that work with new strategies and tools while learning from and building community with peers.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A new lens on the spectrum of human sciences from neurology to complex systems: What you’ve always known intuitively, we make explicit and replicable.

  • Strategies for complexity:

    • Navigating work with people who hold different views, values, and lived experiences alongside challenges like power dynamics, historical context, and the unique realities of your world.

    • Helping others thrive, in an increasingly divided and volatile world.

  • A real-world action plan: clear next steps tailored to your work.

  • Renewed possibility: regain or gain more energy for the work you love!

Real Tools. Real People. Real Impact.
