A roundtable discussion of some of the things we wish we might have learned in basic mediation training. You’ll explore meditation practices that help cultivate emotional intelligence, sharpen focus, and improve decision-making, all of which are vital for effective mediation. Whether you are new to meditation or want to refine your existing practice, these seminars will provide you with practical tools you can immediately apply in your mediation sessions.

Join us to develop a more balanced and effective approach to conflict resolution—both for yourself and for your clients.

This webinar is presented in conjunction with the Mediation Center of the Pacific.
