Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center – Free Brown Bag Talk – “Reconciliation of Opposites: Finding Harmony With People Who Are Different Than You” with Phillip Jones

“One of the greatest challenges and ‘secrets’ addressed by most of the thinkers and philosophical systems from ancient to modern times is the ‘reconciliation of opposites,'” says Phillip.  “Simply put: How do I, who see the world from one angle of vision, truly speak with you, who see it from the opposite angle?  The answer to this question speaks to harmony within all relationships–personal, professional, and community.”

Phillip Jones, MA, LMHC, is an author, psychotherapist, hospice spiritual counselor and rites of passage facilitator.  After working as an engineer, Philip lived and studied for over a decade as a Hindu monk.  Over the last 18 years, he has helped young people navigate the passage to adulthood, adults transition through midlife crises, and hospice patients traverse the ‘last rite of passage.’  Phillip and his wife lead retreats to sacred sites around the world.
