The key to conflict transformation is conflict prevention. In the words of Rev. Dr. King, “The time is always right to do what is right.” It is never too late or too early to engage in peace-building. Community processes are consensual and never coercive. If you would like to asses if you and/ or additional participants are ready to consent to a process, sign up for a free initial consultation.

Facilitation is co-created and adapted to the needs of each individual and community. Whether you are seeking a mediation, healing circle, or coaching session, being in dialogue within a structured container provides opportunities for harmony.

Situations that are appropriate for restorative dialogues include disruptions related to-

• Workplace dynamics

• Neighbors

• Tenants/ landlords

• Community partnerships

• Divorce

• Schools

• Land-use

• Sexual harm

• Family systems
