Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center on the Big Island of Hawai‘i has been offering its Brown Bag Lunch Series since 2015. The series began as a monthly event held on the third Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m. in the conference room at HomeStreet Bank in Hilo . Since then, the series has continued to provide free, informal, and educational talks focused on communication, conflict resolution, and community building.
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is part of Ku‘ikahi’s “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” initiative, which aims to foster positive change and understanding in the community. The talks feature a diverse range of speakers and topics, from conflict resolution strategies to discussions on equity and inclusion.
Their next series is June 19th,2025.
Free Brown Bag Talk on “The RESPECTFUL Model”
This month’s speaker is Dr. Darlene Viggiano on the topic “The RESPECTFUL Model: Considering the Whole Person in Mediation.”
“How do you know you’re taking the whole person into full account when mediating conflicts?” asks Dr. Viggiano.
In this talk, learn a model for ensuring that conflict resolution participants feel truly seen and heard in all their major dimensions. If you’re a mediator or want to become a mediator, this webinar provides you with a valuable tool to develop your strengths and discover how effective you will be with individuals who differ from you.
