Meditation Skills Training Institute at Franciscan Renewal Center

The Lombard Mennonite Peace Center is offering a five-day event, Meditation Skills Training Institute, at the Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale, November 14-18, 2022. Get more info on their site, view a brochure, or register here.

This 5-day event is designed to equip church leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to deal effectively with interpersonal, congregational, and other forms of group conflict. It also includes a component on congregational mediation and consultation, placed within the context of family systems theory. Although focused primarily on the church setting, the skills learned are directly transferable to other settings, including the business and academic worlds. Join us and find out for yourself why a previous participant described MSTI as “The best and most thorough model for mediation with individuals and congregations that I have experienced in more than three decades of ordained ministry”!

Conflict is an inevitable part of life, whether in the home, school, community, church, or workplace. Having the skills to function effectively in emotionally intense, conflicted situations is important for all of us, especially those of us who are leaders.  Lombard Mennonite Peace Center has trained thousands of church leaders from a wide range of denominations in the skills that are needed to deal with conflict in the church setting through its Mediation Skills Training Institute for Church Leaders.

For more details, please consult this 2022 MSTI Brochure. If none of these dates fit your schedule, then you might consider contracting with us to present MSTI when it is convenient for you!
