SUMMARY:February 2025 Learner Session: Beginner’s Mind in Mediation: From Judgement to Discernment
DESCRIPTION:\nCost:\n\n\n\nFree for ADRIA members only\n\n\n\nCourse Description:\n\n\n\n“The goal of practice is always to keep our beginner’s mind…in the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” –Zen master Suzuki Roshi.\n\n\n\nHumans have a deeply ingrained inclination for rapid decision-making, particularly when it comes to making judgements about others. This capacity is both “wired” in us and supported by cultural factors. Although in many circumstances quick judgements are self-protective, they hinder a mediator’s skilfulness and effectiveness.\n\n\n\nAs mediators, people’s behaviour in conflict can appear as classic or archetypal patterns that blind us to the uniqueness of the individuals and the situation. Crucially, rapid judgements subtly undermine the neutrality we promise our clients.\n\n\n\nVarious ways for mediators to counteract this tendency have been offered, including implicit bias training and other cognitive approaches, but up to now the notion of developing “Beginner’s Mind” has seen little attention.\n\n\n\nJoin Mark Donovan, C. MED, for a discussion of how practicing Beginner’s Mind can foster your capacity for openness and curiosity and counteract judgement formation with clear-eyed discernment. \n\n\n\nCourse Details:\n\n\n\nYou will receive an email with login details the morning of the session date.
