"I'm already using the skills gained from the Basic Mediation Training in my one-to-one conversations with students in crisis or helping students resolve conflicts with faculty, staff, and/or other students. The Division of Student Affairs is already seeing a return on the investment.  These skills are so incredible and valuable!”

“As a counselor, I feel that one of the most valuable skills any of us can learn is conflict management and resolution. Ku'ikahi trains individuals and facilitates the growth of the mediation process as a means to clear the path to dealing with conflict in a healthy and healing manner.”

“Just learning how to actively listen to others with full attention has enabled me to interact with other people in positive ways unimaginable before taking Ku'ikahi’s classes. I’ve been able to use the skills gained in these educational programs in every exchange I have with another person.”

“Great training!  Kept me interested the entire time.  I was concerned this training was all day and too long, but the entire class time was very interesting.  I will use what I’ve learned today in future conflicts with employees/staff.  This class should be required for all supervisors/management.”

“Throughout the 32-hour course the instructors made participants feel heard.  I was deeply touched by their mission to bring peace to our community.  I will and have already used the techniques to listen better and communicate with a softer tone in my personal and work life.” 

“The workshop was very transformative.  I feel cleansed in some intangible way, and am heartened by the fact that I now feel much more equipped to be a compassionate and communicative being.  I am going to use it in my personal and professional life.” 

“I truly valued and loved the realness and transparency of the classmates, instructors, and mediators.  I learned many skills I can and will use in my daily life, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

“The training was great, more than I expected.  The skills will be very useful in my personal life and growth.  It has made me more open and mindful to listen, really listen.  I’ve been through many trainings and feel I am leaving these last 4 days with more knowledge than any other workshop.”
