| What keeps us human beings from resolving
conflicts constructively and compassionately,
going from dug in anger and resentment to
peace and love? What vision is required for
truly transforming conflict? The profound
peacemaking principles of John Paul Lederach
offer both a blueprint and challenge for resolving
conflicts with our real and imagined “enemies.”
His principles outline a transformative approach to conflict,
rather than a power-based, rights-based, or even interest-based
approach. However, transforming conflict into cooperation, anger
and resentment into love, not only requires mindfulness and
presence, but also a fundamental knowledge of our own typerelated
defensiveness and reactivity that only the Enneagram
offers. In this way the Enneagram brings us into alignment with
Lederach’s simple and far reaching principles. If your personal,
professional, and/or spiritual path embraces “peacemaking,” this
session is for you!
