Mission by Melina 'Daphne' Draco

  • Find a tree that can function as a justice of peace
  • If you have a conflict with someone, invite them to meet under your chosen tree
  • Invite the tree to mediate and help you resolve your conflict
  • Sit in silence with the tree for a few minutes
  • Each person describes the problem from their perspective, pointing to the effect of other participants' actions on themselves
  • Pay attention to separate 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 stops and all 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: depending on conflict
  • Estimated number of participants: at least two humans and one tree
  • Vegetal mindfulness: acacia
