    You are joyfully invited by the Maine Agricultural Mediation Program (MAMP) to join our no-cost, interactive webinar -- The Imaginative Mediator: From Burnout to Beauty with Gracelynn Lau 

    What: As mediators and peacemakers, we often stand in the gap, becoming the bridge between divides. But bridges can get heavy, worn, or stepped on. How do we care for ourselves and our imagination while holding both beauty and brokenness? Lucy Wess, MAMP Director, will facilitate this interactive session featuring Gracelynn Chung-yan Lau, PhD, RTC, ExATFounder of Imagination Care Studio in British Columbia, Canada. 

    In this webinar, Gracelynn Lau will share how expressive arts therapy has helped her metabolize complexities within and around her, moving through burnout with creativity and resilience. The session will combine personal storytelling with expressive arts-inspired interactive exercises, inviting participants to engage with their own imaginative and creative capacities.

    What you’ll learn:
        •    Practical strategies to navigate burnout and complexity
        •    Tools to reconnect with your creative and imaginative self
        •    A reflective, interactive experience integrating expressive arts into self-care and mediation practice

    When & Where: Live via Zoom on Thursday, February 26, 2026, 4:30-6 PM (Eastern) 

     Register via Google Forms here!

    We hope you can join us! --

    With gratitude, Lucy

    Facilitation Skills to Support Collaboration

    External Professional Development Opportunity

    from Leah Boyd


    Whether it’s an organization with a beautiful mission or a work department managing complexity, it is helpful to create a structure where all voices are heard in an efficient and effective way.

    And what about the tension that is often present when the stakes feel high?

    In this 1/2 day ONLINE training Leah will share her “best practices” for supporting groups in times of challenge, based on 15 years of facilitating and mediating in a wide range of settings and circumstances.

    Drawing from Nonviolent Communication, Dynamic Facilitation and basic mediation skills, we’ll explore:

    ·       The pre-work that sets a group up for success and limits surprises

    ·       The importance of skillful listening and empathy in creating “brave space” and regulated nervous systems

    ·       Structural elements that allow all voices to be heard while efficiently tracking progress

    ·       Navigating creative tension with care and confidence

    ·       Wrapping up a session in a satisfying and intentional way

    ·       And more…..
