Friends Helping Friends: Training in Mediation/Facilitation

Baltimore Yearly Meeting is providing free training in the peacemaking tools of mediation and facilitation on the weekends of February 10 to 12 and 24 to 26. Participants are expected to attend sessions on both weekends. Each weekend, there will be a Friday evening session (beginning at 7:00 p.m.), an all-day session on Saturday, and an afternoon session on Sunday. Participants are asked to get two booklets which will be used in the training: The Mediator's Handbook by Jennifer Beer and Caroline Parker, (at the local library?) and Conflict in Meetings, from Quaker Books, Britain Yearly Meeting.
