Resolve Your Conflict Under A Tree
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
