Peace Essential’s approach is about achieving peace and managing conflict with mediation and restorative processes, knowledge sharing and justice activism, collaboration and creativity.

The approach is an antidote to conflict because it shows how to transform conflict. It recognises that our conflict is a part of life that needs attention. Conflict, disputes, misunderstanding, strains and breaks in relationships are part of living. If we leave them unattended, they generally grow more painful, in small and large ways. They create future problems and complex dynamics all the way into the broader community.

The best way to make peace essential is by dialogue- mediation or restorative conversations achieve mutual understanding, encouraging solutions. We can help you understand the human inner responses to conflict and share trauma informed and neurobiological explanations. You will understand the role of expression of feelings and needs and develop an empathy practice to face difficult conversations with new confidence.
