The Blueprint Conference is a set of questions for two or more people to resolve conflict and restore their relationships and communities.
The conference gives all parties in conflict equal opportunity to express their emotions to each other in a safe environment as well to share what they need to repair the relationship. Conference participants can develop their empathy skills as they listen to how their actions made others feel.
“The Meta-Moment is a tool for building the space between stimulus and response—from when we experience an emotion to how we respond to that emotion, so that we make better choices when we express and manage our emotions.”
"Something our brain does to help us feel better or safer when something upsetting happens."
