The Dialogue Road Map is a communications, mediation and circling practice based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for overcoming resistance, hostility, anger and violence in order to engage in a meaningful dialogue. Like NVC, it is based on identifying each person’s needs (see diagram below). It was developed and is administered by the nonprofit Centre for Peaceful Solutions.
As community leaders, this process is how we take responsibility for our role in actualizing each other in developing a regenerative culture. Participants are trained in regenerative communication through a program known as the Dialogue Road Map, facilitated by Maria Arpa. Maria was recently the executive director of the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
This program supports local communities looking to train a group of certified mediation counselors and regenerative communications stewards. These graduates will be a foundation from which we develop a caring-based regenerative culture, including a conflict resolution program.
This Dialogue Road Map training is intended to reach people in regenerative communities who want to design a nonviolent/healing/restorative response to conflict and who have the authority or influence to pave the way for change. It is intended to benefit the community as a community practice, not to benefit individual practitioners utilizing it for private practice.
Applications:
We will present an orientation on March 21 as an introduction to the Dialogue Road Map and how it works in communities, groups and organizations.
Then we will select a group to undertake the year long training once sponsorship is found. Maria Arpa is founder of a nonprofit and all income generated goes towards the running of the nonprofit. Therefore this is not a commercial proposition and must not be treated as such.
Out of the one year training you will be skilled and accomplished at working with people in conflict:
