Mediation
We believe in win-win solutions, not compromise.
We support individuals and families with coaching and problem solving to engage conflict for constructive transformative outcomes. We support organizations and business teams. Conflict is a gift in disguise! Opportunities for re-envisioning, healing, and skill building towards effective collaboration and especially across differences and power differentials, even when individuals are very differently wired. We work with care to create a container in which there is space for self reflection, authentic truth telling and support for mutual understanding. We move away from the shame and blame game, and structure the work so that we get to the root causes and turn conflict into a dilemma that can be solved together.
Restorative circles. One on One. Small group restorative sessions.
Restorative Justice
We work to create justice systems within organizations and communities that do not look like the traditional punishment systems. We work to get the best outcomes when harm happens, or when conflict surfaces. We focus on proactivity in establishing caring systems, and also train people in organizations and communities how to do this work themselves. We engage in nontraditional processes when impact happensere always centering the Nonviolent Communication model, inviting the broader group who are impacted by a conflict to come together, for accountability, relational repair and working out what systemic change is necessary going forward. The joint holding of responsibility creates healing and growth.
Clarity. Strategy. Solutions.
Advocacy in Schools
We support schools, teachers, individuals and families to identify their needs and function in Restorative ways. We work on culture change.

Coaching
Begin where you are, whether it is work related or a personal matter. Using nonviolent communication techniques and processes, we work to clarify what you want, envision the changes you desire, and develop the skills and strategies to create the world you want to live in.

Nonviolent Communication
With its focus on feelings and universal human needs, the practice of NVC stimulates deeper understanding of ourselves and others and provides a compassionate way to relate to one another, even in the face of conflict.
