Description
Description: This workshop is on Safe Conversations, a global initiative to build a relational culture through respectful, emotionally safe communication. Originating in Dallas, the project promotes zero negativity, daily affirmations, and structured dialogue practices like mirroring and validation. Emphasis is placed on relational competence, healing childhood wounds, and strengthening connections within couples and families as a path to broader social transformation.
Syllabus Description: Safe Conversations is a social action initiative to take relational science from the clinic to the culture in order to help facilitate a transition from an individualistic to a relational civilization. Since talking is the most dangerous thing people do, and since listening is the most infrequent, and since difference is the source of polarization, this relational intervention helps people talk without criticizing, listen without judgment and connect beyond their differences. Delivered globally, this relational technology could create a safe world in which everyone is equal, diversity is celebrated and inclusiveness is total.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the technology of Safe Conversations.
- Discuss the steps for the emergence of a relational culture.
- Teach the Safe Conversations process to others.
