Graceful Power: aikido & conflict resolution

Sofia Bustamante works as a trainer in conflict resolution. She has a black belt in Aikido and bases her many of her workshop exercises and techniques on insights she has gained from this. She grounds her practice in an approach based on living systems, peacework, martial arts, neuroscience and work in therapeutic fields.

Her current work involves developing a systematic Conflict Resolution Pattern Language.

In this episode we talk about the relationships between her work, traditional fears of naming, and General Semantics.
