Introduction to the Program

Do you approach conflict and other challenges in your life as problems to be avoided or solved? Or, are you open to the possibility that conflict and other challenges may be an opportunity for personal transformation?

In today’s complex conflict environments, where negotiating differences often devolves to violent struggle, interveners must have heightened capacities for integration, collaboration, and creativity. In working with difficult and intractable conflicts, we believe that interveners, both formal and informal, must develop advanced capacities of perspective-taking in order to navigate the multifaceted challenges these real-life situations present.

Antioch McGregor’s conflict programs are designed to engage the whole person through a process of learning strategies that support the growth of consciousness, contemplative practices, authentic conversation skills, social competencies, and emotional intelligence. Our program design draws on the work of many pioneers in a wide array of disciplines including John Burton, Johan Galtung, Morton Deutsch, Bill Ury, Vamik Volkan, Jack Mezirow, Robert Kegan, Ken Wilber, and Daniel Goleman.

There are three unique hallmarks to our program design:

  1. An integral approach to understanding conflict
  2. Transformational reflective practice
  3. A developmental curriculum

To enroll in McGregor’s conflict program is to accept our invitation to join us on a transformational journey, where we will accompany and support you in traveling to the edges of your known world, and where the deep understanding that dwells within you begins to shift and makes room for a new vision, a broader perspective, a new experience of yourself in relation to your world. This transformation happens in our Yellow Spring classrooms, our online virtual classrooms, our university seminars, and in your own thinking, writing, and talking about becoming a cutting edge peace worker and conflict intervener.

Come be with us and let our faculty instruct, guide, and work with you to become more of who you truly are. Come be with us and win a victory for humanity.
