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
