      <description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Come join us to discuss Kenneth Fox's recently published book,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/perspectives-on-conflict-9781538186886/" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Perspectives on Conflict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;: Insights for Professional and Personal Practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/perspectives-on-conflict-9781538186886/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#467886"&gt;Perspectives on Conflict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;i&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;s a broadly interdisciplinary exploration of the many facets of conflict. Practitioners have long had access to a range of resources with guidance on what to&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;do&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;when working with parties in conflict. However, perhaps with the exception of work by those affiliated with ISCT, it can be more difficult to find a single, practical examination of the nature of conflict itself. Grounded in theory and drawing on three decades of experience,&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Perspectives on Conflict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;explores conflict from six perspectives: the body; the non-conscious mind; the strategic mind; language and symbols; the co-creation of meaning and systems; structures and the conflict ecosystem. Together, these six perspectives offer the reader more holistic insights into the conflicts we (and parties) experience and how to better ground conflict practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans"&gt;May 7 and 28 from 12-1 pm Eastern&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Inside Out Practice Group, with Dan Simon and Tara West (May 18, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Inside Out Practice Group, with Dan Simon and Tara West&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;Would you like to practice your mediation skills by analyzing another mediator’s session, rather than having your own session analyzed?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;We have the workshop for you!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;During this 2-hour session, you will have the opportunity to observe a mediator (Dan) in action, via a recorded role-play, and analyze the situation. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions of Dan and Tara, including how they read&amp;nbsp;the parties’ states of weakness and self-absorption and why Dan made the practice choices he made. You will have a chance to pause the mediation session, come back to specific situations, and analyze what you observed in more detail.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;prerequisite: basic transformative mediation training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Grounded in theory and drawing on three decades of experience,&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Perspectives on Conflict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;explores conflict from six perspectives: the body; the non-conscious mind; the strategic mind; language and symbols; the co-creation of meaning and systems; structures and the conflict ecosystem. Together, these six perspectives offer the reader more holistic insights into the conflicts we (and parties) experience and how to better ground conflict practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans"&gt;May 7 and 28 from 12-1 pm Eastern&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
