Benedicta Enrichment Seminar – 2025

Consecrating Conflict: Finding Hope in the Struggle

Whether at home, at church, or at the workplace, conflict is inevitable. Yet how we deal with conflict determines its outcome. This 5-part interactive seminar will unveil 12 habits for Christian servant leaders as presented in Dr. Ann Garrido’s 2016 book Redeeming Conflict. 

Topics for discussion include navigating conflict triangles, welcoming emotion, problem solving, speaking one’s voice, undoing the knot of intentionality, and listening toward understanding. Reference will be made to the lives of holy women, such as Saints Thekla, Monica and Jane Frances de Chantal, who welcomed conflict as a hopeful opportunity for growth and deeper conversion.

Participants will walk away with practical tools to approach everyday conflicts with new insight, deepened empathy, and enduring virtue.
