The Partnership Way of resolving conflicts embraces conflict as an opportunity for deepening the love connection between people and advancing their consciousness. When we discovered that most conflicts contain dualities that create experiences of separation, we created developmental and systemic tools for embracing and uniting light and shadow or dark inside people so that they can experience more intimacy.

The Partnership Way of resolving conflicts embraces conflict as an opportunity for deepening the love connection between people and advancing their consciousness. When we discovered that most conflicts contain dualities that create experiences of separation, we created developmental and systemic tools for embracing and uniting light and shadow or dark inside people so that they can experience more intimacy.

The Partnership Way also emphasizes the role of developmental trauma as a source of conflict, particularly the intractable ones, and stresses the need to clear it from your nervous system in order to stop the unconscious recycling of behaviors.
We have found that internal personal conflicts often get projected onto others. Carl Jung called these our ‘shadow parts. For example, if a person has an unresolved conflict or trauma from the past, he or she may project the essential elements of that conflict or trauma and see it as existing in an intimate partner or a boss at work. Collective conflicts are formed the same way. Here hidden or unwanted parts of a religious group or a nation-state are projected on another religion or nation-state who seen as the enemy or the source of the problem.
Underlying our approach is an evolutionary meta-theory we call Developmental Systems Theory, which is at the core of LOVEvolution. We recognize and emphasize unconditional love as the force that moves humans forward in both their personal development and their spiritual evolution. When people learn to give and receive empathy, compassion and unconditional love, they move forward in their evolution. When the ability to give and receive love is impaired, people stall in their evolution. LOVEvolution also recognizes the value of devolutionary experiences as opportunities to clear traumas, wounds and karmic patterns. While not always pleasant, these experiences are an integral part of LOVEvolution.
The Partnership Way provides practical, proven tools for resolving conflicts of wants and needs, values and beliefs and conflicts involving deep or repressed feelings. In addition, it helps people find the developmental sources that cause intractable conflicts so that they can resolve these conflicts at their source.
The Partnership Way contains many written exercises and self-inventories to help you identify hidden or unresolved conflicts or traumas, along with simple processes to use in resolving the conflict at its source or healing the trauma.
