Some experts regard conflict as growth trying to happen. Most of us are afraid of conflict so we try very hard to avoid it.  Is there really something good we can learn about conflict?

A wise person says lilies grow in the valley and not on the mountains.  This means one can learn good things or gain wisdom even from suffering or conflict. 

Join us at EAP@UP for a four-hour morning workshop as we search for something good that can come out of conflict.
