Mission by Melina 'Daphne' Draco

• find a tree that can function as a Justice of the Peace
• if you have a conflict with someone, invite them to meet under your chosen tree
• request the tree to mediate and help you resolve the conflict
• all parties sit in silence with the tree for a few minutes
• each person describes the problem from their perspective, describing the effect of other participants' actions on themselves
• pay attention to separating facts from opinions and emotional content
• whenever the discussion becomes too heated, one of the participants can turn to the tree and ask for help
• the conversation can then cease, and all parties involved pay attention only to the tree
• after a few minutes, the conversation can resume
• repeat for as long as needed for the conflict to reach a resolution

• Estimated duration: 1 hour to 1 week, depending on conflict
• Estimated number of participants: at least two humans and one tree
• Vegetal mindfulness: acacia
