Class Description:
Our time is spent primarily in practicing mediation. The mediator sets the intensity knob on how the conflictants play their roles. The mediator can also ask for support at any time. ============================================================================ The participants usually choose the conflict to be mediated. This offers another layer of learning because it gives people the opportunity to have one of their own conflicts played out. Often, a person has the opportunity to play him or herself as well as the other conflictant. This kind of roleplaying is often supportive to understanding and connection, as you recieve empathy from the mediator and the other person. ============================================================================ After each mediation, we give space to whatever the mediator is wanting to learn from their experience as mediator. The mediator makes the requests for the information desired during the debriefing. The feedback is offered in self-responsible ways rather than as criticism. Our emphasis is on creating a safe environment in which to experiment and learn at our own pace.
