==== Resolve Your Conflict under a Tree ====

Mission by [[:/user/Medra|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
