Conflict Cafe | SFN Zoom session | Monday July 17 at 5.30pm (Sydney time)
Join us for Conflict Café (La Chicanerie): a restaurant for fostering healthy relationships and collaboration
You will be able to choose from two set menus featuring practices and exercises to develop greater awareness of self and others in situations of conflict and collaboration.
Whether in professional, personal or community circles, we face complex challenges. Normalising conflict and bridging differences are essential to building a healthier, equitable and sustainable society.
How can we adapt our facilitation and wellbeing practices into spaces beyond workshops and make them more accessible to all?
Percolab created Conflict Cafe as an experiment during COVID in Montreal Canada, and have been iterating for several years. The Canadian team now host weekly public cafes at the Montreal studio, and are just finishing a season as a public program at the Museum of Civilisation in Quebec City.
We’re launching in-person cafes in Australia this year, so we are still sensing into what works in the Australian context.
Come and join us as we experiment with hosting this online!
What you’ll leave with
- Inspiration to bring your practices and processes out of workshops, and into the world as a way to bring more peace and wellbeing :)
- At least 3 potentially new practices you can use in your work, community or social life
- PDF resources of the above!
- Hopefully a full and warm belly of calm and confidence in being with conflict
I’m a passionate and skilled collaborative process designer and host, immersed in creating the kind of workplaces, communities and systems we dream of.
I’m committed to the socio-ecological transition, working with courageous organisations and people who also believe that our shared future depends on us working together like never before, for all life.
You’ll find me in Narooma on the South Coast of NSW, the home of the Djirriganj language speaking peoples on Yuin country, and wherever meaningful participatory practice is invited.
Jane O’Brien
I’m a practitioner and co-creator of the future of healthy and meaningful work and community. I bring authenticity and intuition to my work designing and hosting regenerative and transformative spaces, and a deep commitment to practising this in my work and all of my relationships.
You’ll find me in my garden at Inverell, in New England North West of NSW, home to the Jukumbal speaking people on Gamilaraay country, whenever I have a chance.
Formerly Campfire Coop, we are 2 members of the Australian ‘island’ of the international Percolab archipelago - also in France, Canada and an emerging team in Vietnam. We’re a not-for-profit coop with horizontal shared leadership, the commons and the Art of Hosting as our foundations.
We’re still transitioning so our Campfire Coop website is still active
