Abstract

Provided herein is a system and method for resolving conflict. The method includes the steps of providing a board having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns that cooperate to define a plurality of positions, defining an intention, going to a starting position on the board that corresponds to the intention, moving to another position on the board, and resolving the conflict.

Claims

1. A method of resolving conflict, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a board having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns that cooperate to define a plurality of positions,

defining an intention,

going to a starting position on the board that corresponds to the intention,

moving to another position on the board, and

resolving the conflict.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the board has a center column, and wherein the method further comprises the step of moving to a plurality of positions on the board, wherein at least one of those positions is in the center column.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the conflict is resolved by moving to a position in the center column.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is performed by a single person.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is performed by a plurality of persons.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of meditating.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of redefining the intention.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising the step of establishing a final intention.

9. A method of resolving conflict between a first person and a second person, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a board having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns that cooperate to define a plurality of positions,

defining an intention of the first person,

defining an intention of the second person,

prompting the first person to go to a starting position on the board that corresponds to the intention of the first person,

prompting the second person to go to a starting position on the board that corresponds to the intention of the second person, wherein the first person and the second person have at least two columns between them,

prompting the first and second persons to discuss the issues regarding the intentions and move on the board correspondingly until they have one or less columns between them, and

resolving the conflict.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of prompting the first and second persons to redefine their intentions.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the board includes a center column.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein at least one of the first and second persons moves into the center column while moving on the board.

13. The method of claim 9 wherein the board is placed on the floor.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein the first and second persons stand on the board.

15. The method of claim 9 wherein the board is placed on a table.

16. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of prompting the first and second persons to redefine their intentions to establish a final intention.
