Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center hosts a free talk on October 21 as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom. This month’s speaker is Kimberly Dark on the topic “Conflict is Not Abuse: Taking the Responsibility to Repair.” In this talk, learn the difference between conflict and abuse and how sometimes, in the name of ‘not taking abuse,’ we fail to take responsibility for communicating clearly, nurturing long-term relationships and community cohesion, and participating in conflict. Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch, enjoy an informal and educational talk-story session, and meet others interested in “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace.” To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.
