Join us for a conversation with award-winning journalist Cynthia Gorney about her Pulitzer Center-supported National Geographic project, "For Widows, Life After Loss."

Worldwide, there are about 259 million widows. Nearly half live in poverty. Even where laws protect their rights, widows are sometimes mistreated.

In Uganda, as in many other parts of the world, widowhood is a sentence to a life of misery. After her husband died, Betty Nanozi was robbed of everything she owned, twice. Her cow was beaten to death. Her land was forcefully taken from her.

Gorney will be joined by Pulitzer Center executive director Jon Sawyer. They will discuss both the field research behind her project—in India and Bosnia as well as Uganda—and how that reflects patterns of discrimination that are all too common across the globe.

The brain is programmed to respond protectively in times of perceived threat. However, situations can be labeled as threatening in moments when we could more benefit more from thoughtfulness than automatically defensive responsiveness. Understanding our minds and how they respond to strong emotions is vital to learning how to shape our responses. This workshop will address this phenomenon and discuss mindful strategies for proactively preparing for intervening in conflict.

What You Will Learn

Understand stress-induced responses of the brain Evaluate how early life experiences shape beliefs about conflict Practice proactive mindfulness strategies that prepare the brain to remain relational during intense emotions Practice relational interventions for repair after conflict

Instructors

Marshall Lyles, LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S, serves as the Director of Training at the Center for Relational Care, a counseling center in Austin, Texas. Most of Marshall’s clinical practice has focused on attachment trauma and its effect on family relationships. After years of seeing clients, Marshall now conducts supervision and consultation sessions with counseling professionals and leads trainings in both parenting and professional settings; much of his consultation and training focuses on the use of sandtray therapy within an attachment and trauma-informed context. As Marshall is nearing the completion of his Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy, writing and teaching take up much of his time. In addition to his professional life, Marshall and his wife are adoptive parents of two amazing teenagers.
