Conflict is everywhere. It can emerge within our inner world, appear in our relationships, and ripple across groups, organisations, and communities. While often seen as something negative or disruptive, conflict carries insight, opportunity, and energy for transformation. This course invites participants to rethink conflict as a generative force and to build the capacity to work constructively with tension at four interconnected levels: inner, interpersonal, inter-group, and community.
