Ku'ikahi Mediation Center: Linguistic Reframing, 10-2pm PST
Ku'ikahi Mediation Center is hosting this training, but it's happening via Zoom, so it's open to you ANYWHERE. Check your time zones carefully.
Reframing is a simple practice that takes practice to master. It's also one of the most powerful tools in your conflict resolution kit. This is all about hearing others (even when they're trying to be troublemakers!) and reframing the language and emotions they use so that new solutions open up and peace can emerge. Registration is open now.
