This interactive training offers practical tools to navigate challenging conversations with care, confidence, and professionalism. Grounded in compassionate communication and trauma-informed practice, participants will learn and practice skills to explore what may be underneath difficult behavior, communicate empathy and clarity even in tense moments, and repair trust when ruptures occur.

In this follow-up session, we explore how compassion guides us even in moments of conflict and harm. We’ll examine the protective use of force as an expression of care rather than control, and practice the processes of mourning and reconciliation as pathways to healing. Through reflection and dialogue, participants will explore how both standing firm and softening in grief can be acts of love—each inviting us back into right relationship with ourselves and one another.

This meditation will be an opportunity for us to ground ourselves in the transformative power of the seasonal shift. Together, we'll honor the blessings of the darkness that guards and nourishes us and celebrate the light's presence and its ever-changing rhythm in our lives.
