SUMMARY:Transformative Mediation Training May 19-22\, 2026 (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Transformative Mediation Training (In-Person) May 19-22: 8:30am – 4:30pm each day \nJoin us for an immersive Transformative Mediation Training designed to cultivate deep listening\, empathy\, and conflict resolution skills through the lens of restorative justice.

Transform conflict into connection.\n\n\nTax Receipts: CJI does not provide a tax letter as we are not a recognized educational organization.
