OMA Member Workshops

Expanding Conflict Resilience  

May 25, 9:30am – 11:30am | Members $0 | Register

Join OMA Vice President, Ryan Nakade, for a series of workshops designed to help participants become more resilient to conflict. The segments will include exploring our relationship to conflict, conflict styles, communication methods, and group exercises to cultivate a conflict resilient within your community.

In this first module, participants will explore their relationship to conflict. Self-reflection and mapping exercises will illuminate the emotions, triggers, associations, narratives, values, and other facets of conflict, followed by practicing strategies to become more self-aware when in conflict.


Facts, Truth, and Trust  

June 1, 10am – 12pm | Members $0 | Register

Fake news, disinformation, “alternative facts,” and the breakdown of institutional trust can make dialogue with opposing viewpoints quite difficult. In this class, participants will learn how to bring a nuanced understanding of facts and data, and reflect on how they pursue “truth.” Doing so helps us escape the polarizing binary of “I’m right – you’re wrong” and can lead to more productive discussions when factual matters are in dispute. 

Facilitated by OMA Vice President, Ryan Nakade. Ryan is a mediator and facilitator with East County Resolutions, and also contracts with the Beaverton Center for Mediation and Dialogue. He teaches public workshops in equity and diversity, dialogue, and political depolarization, and holds regular community dialogue events. 


Mediation in Motion

May 24, 7 – 8:15am | Members $0 | Register

Mediators meet for gentle, mindful movement lessons, then discuss the relationship between mediation and a settled body — both for the mediator and the parties. Information about the science of body awareness and its effect on cognition and collaboration is included in each class. Choose to attend one or all classes.

Facilitated by Carie Fox. Carie has been mediating for 25 years and has over 400 hours of training in the Feldenkrais Method®. She is certified to teach Awareness Through Movement® lessons and hosted a “Mediation in Motion” workshop at OMA’s 2021 Conference. Learn more about Carie’s mediation practice.

The Oregon Mediation Association

Welcome to OMA

Conflict is a natural part of life. Managed correctly, conflict can positively transform lives and relationships. Mediators are trained to understand the source of conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions toward positive growth and change. Mediators create a safe space to have difficult conversations. The Oregon Mediation Association works to build greater awareness of mediation as a useful conflict management tool.

OMA is a network of mediators and supporters of mediation who are committed to the development, support and advocacy of mediation in Oregon.

Mission

OMA's mission is to help Oregonians transform the way they confront and resolve conflict in their personal lives and in their communities.
