Core Pillars

Mediation 

Picture
Mediation is a process conducted by a neutral third party. It is best used when two or more parties are in conflict and need to memorialize an agreement. 
While the Mediator guides the process, the parties are responsible to communicate, create meaning, and craft a solution. We have used mediation in various fields, including agriculture, academia, family, and the workplace.​​​

Facilitation

​​Facilitation is a structured process where a neutral third party guides a group through discussions and decision-making processes. Facilitation is often used to improve group dynamics, enhance communication, and foster collaboration.
​This process is used to communicate more effectively in fields such as farm transition, academic facilitation, and workplace facilitation.
