As an interfaith organization, the Mastery Foundation is committed to working in those places where religious differences are a source of conflict. What the Mastery Foundation has to offer here is not in the area of conflict resolution, mediation, or problem solving. We do not have answers or any special knowledge of the issues. What we do have to offer are tools and approaches that can empower those already working on peace and reconciliation in the creation of powerful, new, and effective possibilities for the future.

By working with these men and women in a variety of settings and programs—from intensive workshops and conferences to training courses—they can acquire and develop tools that will help them:

• Bring people together in ways that call them to be inclusive and accountable for the whole community.
• Connect people to their common concerns and to each other in relationships of trust and respect.
• Learn to use language in a way that dramatically increases their effectiveness and gives them new access to making things happen.
• Deal with the legacy of the past in a way that honors that past yet frees them to create a new future.
• Create new conversations and new possibilities which can make a lasting, positive difference.
