The times are calling for us to change how we view conflict-to learn to use it to evolve.

Conflict is uncomfortable, risky. Most of us want to avoid it. Yet conflict in the human world-within ourselves, with a relative or partner, between political opponents, between nations-operates on the same principles as conflict at the cosmic level. It is a force inherent in the universe that leads to growth and evolution.

Conflict itself is not the problem. The problem lies in how our limited understanding and emotional responses color our experience of conflict. Sharing her lifelong journey of discovery in this book, Carol Hwoschinsky offers us a shift of view-to see conflict as a doorway, as an opportunity to step beyond fear and defense into a field of possibility and transformation.

"Carol Hwoschinsky offers us the gift of her deeply personal journey and a profound re-framing of conflict. Blending memoir with insight from decades of work in psychotherapy, mediation, and compassionate listening, Carol invites us to embrace conflict as a force that can lead us toward wholeness and a more compassionate world."

-David Wick, president, Pathways to Peace; executive director, Ashland Culture of Peace

Hwoschinsky, Carol: - Carol Hwoschinsky led a life rich in engagement and service, facilitating listening and conflict resolution in the United States and internationally, while expanding her own understanding of conflict as a crucible for evolutionary transformation. Living in the cultural vibrancy of the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s through 1980s, she earned master's degrees in both special education and psychology and worked as a licensed therapist, an educator, and a mediator in multiple settings for many years. Carol's interest in conflict resolution and citizen diplomacy took her to Armenia, where she contributed to dialogue and joint projects with Armenia, Karabakh, and Azerbaijan, and to the former Soviet Union, where she taught psychology and communication. She was deeply involved in the work of the Compassionate Listening Project, which fosters dialogue and reconciliation between parties in conflict in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, serving as a trainer/facilitator and becoming a member of the Core Council and the lead trainer for the Advanced Training and Certification Track.
