Taking HG ideas into the wider world
– a unique online tool you can use

The Conciliators Guild – which incorporates HG understandings into its ground-breaking international work in diplomacy, politics and conflict resolution – has just launched a profound new online tool: the Table of Political Elements.

The Conciliators Guild - Table of Political Elements Promotional video
