Conflict Transformation Circles for Community Gardeners

Wednesday, January 18th, 2023 at 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Free
How can we hold space for and resolve conflict within our groups?

 

Conflict is natural, and can happen even in the most well organized garden group or with the best of friends. How can we hold space for and resolve conflict within our groups? In these monthly sessions, mediators Skye Roper-Moses and Michelle Jackson will facilitate discussion circles for community gardeners to bring their challenges to the group and collectively generate solutions. The facilitators will model skills for holding space that gardeners can bring back to their own groups to begin to develop a practice for addressing and transforming conflict in the garden.

This will be a confidential space that is not recorded. These sessions are held monthly, and themes for discussion are based on issues brought forward at the prior session. Participants are welcome to attend them all or just drop in for one.

Session meets 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
