Listen -- and learn -- at Circles Process trainings

Like everyone else, you want to be heard. But how good are you at listening?

Can you give your full attention without interrupting? Can you listen without practicing in your mind what you'll say when it's your turn? Can you put aside your own ideas long enough to consider what other people are saying?

Our Family Services wants to help this community have more effective and respectful conversations about issues that concern us all. Our upcoming Circles Process trainings are for everyone interested in learning new skills they can use to build community, resolve conflict and make better group decisions.

Level 1 gives a basic format to use in group discussions. Level 2 teaches how to facilitate the appropriate circle method for the group.

Level 1 training is this Friday. For details and to register, click here. Email Mediation Coordinator Catherine Tornbom for details.
