Aliveness Collective: Brave Enough for Conflict: Leaning Into Discomfort to Build Real Trust

The Aliveness Collective's bi-weekly intentional space to just show up and be human with other people saying a big YES to life. Each experience is curated around the theme to encourage connection to self and others.

​We live in a time when the most common response to conflict is to disappear—ghosting, blocking, canceling, or quietly drifting away. ​

We’ve been conditioned to believe:
“If it’s hard, it’s wrong.”
“If we don’t agree, we can’t stay connected.”
“If I share my truth, I’ll be rejected.” ​

Most of us were never taught how to navigate conflict with grace. We learned to avoid it, smooth it over, or explode.

​But conflict isn’t a sign something’s broken. It’s a sign that something real is happening. ​

When we learn to stay with ourselves—and with each other—through discomfort, conflict becomes a doorway to clarity, intimacy, and trust.

​This Aliveness Experience is an invitation to shift your relationship with conflict from fear to fuel. ​

In this session, you’ll:
🔥 Explore your personal conflict style (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
💡 Learn how to stay grounded when tension arises
💬 Practice naming what’s true without blame or collapse
🔍 Understand what healthy conflict actually looks and feels like
💗 Build your capacity to move through tough conversations with courage and care ​

This is for you if:

  • ​You avoid conflict and then feel resentful or misunderstood ​
  • You struggle to speak up without guilt or reactivity
  • ​You want deeper, more honest relationships—but aren’t sure how to get there ​
  • You’re ready to stop shrinking, and start showing up with clarity and self-respect

You’ll leave with:
✨ Tools for navigating conflict without self-abandoning
✨ A deeper understanding of your own patterns—and how to shift them
✨ Confidence in your ability to hold both truth and connection
✨ A felt sense of what’s possible on the other side of hard conversations ​

Conflict doesn’t have to mean disconnection. Sometimes it’s the doorway to the intimacy and freedom you’ve been craving. ​

Let’s practice stepping through.
