training & facilitation

learn with us.

we offer trainings in restorative justice, racial equity, and equity informed mediation. trainings are highly customized to meet the needs of your group, and we welcome a spirit of collaboration and input as we create these trainings with you.

on a quarterly basis, ur higher selfie provides a 40-hour Oregon state certification course in equity informed basic mediation. folks outside of Oregon are welcome, we just cannot guarantee certification since every state differs in their requirements.

need to talk it out? we’ve got you.

sometimes, when we have challenging conversations, we just need someone else to hold that space for us. we’re here for you. we will co-create a container for you to have the conversations you want and need to have, and we will do it with equity at the center of everything.

Firedancer + Marita DeLeon in a 40-hour virtual zoom training to become an equity-informed certified mediator in the state of Oregon. mediator certification requirements vary state to state, so we cannot guarantee certification in other states. however, all are welcome and we have had folks join us from all over the U.S. and Canada!

“Marita and Tara are easy going but substantive. responsive and engaging. i love how you model what you're talking about so we can learn as we go and experience before doing.”

“i lived for the casual-ness. i felt okay doing whatever I needed to do. but it was also engaging, and clear that you all know wtf you're talking about.”
