An Introduction to the Site
The Book Section
This website was created to support the book Taming the Wolf: Resolving the Conflicts Ruining Your Life. You can download sample chapters and find information regarding the book.
Taming the Wolf and the companion Conflict Resolution Journal Workbook are available for purchase through the site; visit our online store.
In addition, the journal workbook is available for download in our online store. If you have previously used a workbook section and need to use that same section again—with the downloaded version of the workbook, you can print specific pages.
As a service to our readers, we have added links to resources that contributed to Taming the Wolf, such as other books or sites that may prove valuable. Visit the book resources page.
The Blog
Blog posts are designed to augment your ability to apply conflict resolution concepts as you participate in a conflict resolution process or as you assist others to resolve conflict.
If you are seeking additional information or if you wish to add your insights to the ongoing conversation, you are invited to comment on the posts.
(We ask that you do not post personal information that can be used to identify other parties in the comments section. Detailed questions regarding personal matters are best sent as a message rather than as a public comment. General questions regarding conflict resolution that do not identify parties, however, are welcomed.)
The Life & Legacy of St. Francis
Special features on the site present the life and legacy of St. Francis, our peacemaking mentor. As we learn about the St. Francis, we become inspired to apply the resources of our faith to the conflict resolution process. In addition, you can find information on the Franciscan tradition.
News & Events
News and Events sections allow you to follow Taming the Wolf activities. As much as possible we will keep these sections up-to-date and timely. Check for news of upcoming presentations, workshops, and special events you may wish to attend.
Services Section
The Services section details how we might be of assistance to you. Feel free to inquire about services.
Pilgrimages
From time to time, we all need a “time out.” On the Pilgrimages section, we offer virtual pilgrimages—images and video that inspire contemplative moments, opportunities to wander to other lands, to sacred sites, that allow us to step back and gain a new perspective.
