About Us
 

Our facilitation and peacemaking strategies and techniques include traditional models of peacemaking.  Values such as respect for self, honoring the circle of life and mother earth are introduced.  Leadership skills including ~ effective communication, collaboration and peacemaking are emphasized as ways to gain resolution and strengthen relationships and alliances.

 

Conflict is natural and quite common ~ the key is in how we choose to deal with it.  CAPP helps people and groups to reduce conflict, promote peaceful engagement and dialogue, and helps people to work toward satisfactory agreements, meaningful resolutions, and prejudice reduction.  

 

Our training or planning sessions can be customized based upon your needs as identified in a free consultation with our training team and can occur in person or over the phone as a first step!

 

Testimonials

 

"We must stay the course, quit fighting with each other and tell our stories!  We need to work together to protect what we have and our rights!"

"Many tribes are combining ways to resolve cases beside the strict adversary system.  Some are ahead of the adversary system and using restorative justice (peacemaking~healing circles, drug court and Elders panels...)."
