Cambridge Mediator’s Inner Dialogue workshop makes the news!

A July workshop led by John and Ike in Cambridge, MA made the Cambridge Chronicle on July 29, 2010. Here’s the text of the article:

Settlement Center holds ‘inner dialogue’ workshop

The Community Dispute Settlement Center (CDSC), a nonprofit mediation organization, hosted a community workshop on Wednesday, July 7 called “The Mediator’s Inner Dialogue”.  The workshop was led by John Kinyon and Ike Lasater from the Center for Nonviolent Communication.  The trainers emphasized the lessons drawn from “nonviolent communication,” helping mediators tune into their own internal thought processes to more effectively facilitate a mediation session with people in conflict.

For more information about mediation and training services, visit the websites of the Community Dispute Settlement Center (www.communitydispute.org) and The Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org).
