People are afraid of conflict: it is something "bad" that must be
managed and resolved. In the face of conflict we focus only on
facts--who's at fault and who should be punished--rather than
seeking to restore harmony. But conflict is inevitable and presents
an opportunity to establish deeper connections with others. By
learning to speak honestly and listen devoutly, we can overcome our
culture's hierarchical and punitive approach to conflict. We can
learn to relate to each other in a sacred manner and create
relationships and communities that are egalitarian, liberating, and
transformational. Revealing that we are all peacemakers at heart,
Steve Beyer details how to approach life with a listening heart and
create a safe and sacred space for communication: the peacemaking
circle, centered on the talking stick. Whoever holds the talking
stick gets to speak. There are no interruptions, no questions, no
challenges, no comments. People speak one at a time, honestly from
their hearts, and they listen devoutly with their hearts to each
person who speaks. And, as Beyer shows, the effect can be
miraculous. Exploring the shamanic roots of the talking stick
practice, the author extends the lessons of the healing circle and
the listening heart from our homes, schools, and communities into
our relationship to spirit and the Earth.
