Creating peace within ourselves is essential for living a joyful, balanced life and cultivating healthy, fulfilling relationships. It is also key to understanding and resolving many external disputes. Yet many of us wrestle with conflicting thoughts, emotions, or desires that create inner tension and impact how we relate to others. In this transformative workshop, Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. brings the teachings of her groundbreaking book Coming to Peace into practice, offering a powerful and compassionate approach to resolving both internal and interpersonal conflict.
Rooted in indigenous peacemaking traditions, Buddhist wisdom, and the therapeutic framework of Depth Hypnosis, this workshop emphasizes the importance of personal reflection and connection to inner wisdom as the foundation for effective peacemaking. Through the Inner Coming to Peace process, participants learn how to identify parts of the self that are in conflict, give them voice, understand their origins, and bring them into alignment. In doing so, students cultivate the strong inner resources necessary for navigating both internal tensions and external disputes with clarity and grace.
This work sheds light on unconscious patterns, reveals the deeper motivations behind behavior, and fosters personal responsibility in conflict. Participants gain tools for listening to inner guidance, improving communication, and resolving relational challenges. Whether you’re seeking more harmony within yourself, greater clarity in your relationships, or tools to support others through conflict, this workshop provides a practical and transformative path to lasting peace. It is especially beneficial for counselors, therapists, and healing practitioners looking to support clients more effectively.
