with clients I always strive to offer a customized and needs-based approach. I believe that no two situations are the same and each mediation or facilitation requires its own style and process.<\/p><p>Depending on clients\u2019 needs and preferences, I sometimes like to invite them to experiment with a somatic approach to conflict and communication. This approach is influenced greatly by my experiences with mindfulness practice. It seeks to simultaneously cultivate an\u00a0<strong>open mind<\/strong>, an\u00a0<strong>active heart<\/strong>\u00a0and an\u00a0<strong>alert physical presence<\/strong>. Central to this approach is the understanding that mind, heart and body are not separate entities and that conflict has a somatic dimension (that is, it can be sensed clearly in the body). This dimension is influenced by our thoughts and emotions and, conversely, influences our thoughts and emotions. This is why bodywork can be so useful in cultivating a more effective conflict behavior.<\/p><p>When people feel triggered by someone during a conflict or tense conversation, strong reactions can quickly occur. Anger, judgment, accusation, outrage, or immediate appeasement and withdrawal are among the conflict patterns that many of us repeatedly experience as if by some self-executing, internal program. Somatic practices such as mindful breathing and walking, body scans and physical movement, especially if practiced regularly, can help by inserting a \u201cwedge of awareness\u201d into these internal programs.<\/p><p>The wedge of awareness creates the space to:<\/p><ul><li><strong>sense important signals our body is sending us<\/strong>, e.g. of exhaustion and overextension, indicating that we may need a break or to otherwise care for ourselves, and<\/li><li><strong>become conscious of our conflict patterns<\/strong>, evaluate if they are actually serving our interests and possibly replace them with other responses.<\/li><\/ul><p>For clients wishing to soften their conflict behavior and to engage more cooperatively, it can also be helpful to practice \u201cactivating the heart,\u201d which is to say, to direct their purposeful attention toward generating an empathic (\u201cheartfelt\u201d) connection with themselves, with the conflict, and, if possible, with the other party. Doing so trains the \u201cempathy muscle\u201d until it becomes strong enough to offer a real alternative to more established conflict patterns involving anger, indignation or accusation.<\/p><h5>Conflict as Opportunity<\/h5><p>Last but not least, part of the approach I\u2019ve described here is my belief that conflict is not only a threat, but also an opportunity \u2014 an opportunity to stop and listen, to ask questions and be curious, to sense into our bodies and explore our hearts, to get to know ourselves better and ultimately to find ways to meet people\u2019s ever-changing needs. It is my very personal wish to use this opportunity with respect and care, long before conflicts escalate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbff1f2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bbff1f2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bd5da9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8bd5da9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61bb2aa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"61bb2aa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-303bcfb elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"303bcfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bac1db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3bac1db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b3071d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8b3071d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc65c41 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc65c41\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c405efe showme2 e-transform elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c405efe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-size-md\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Qualifications<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b27a44 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-desktop e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7b27a44\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7a17e9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c7a17e9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-921dc57 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"921dc57\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5ed5b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e5ed5b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n<div><strong style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);\">Founding Member &#8212; Working Group on Mindfulness and Mediation<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Federal Association for Mediation (Bundesverband Mediation, BM). 2024.<\/div>\n<div><strong style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);\">&nbsp;<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);\">Supervision &#8212; Leading Reflective Processes<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Continuing education in leading reflective processes in teams and organizations.

This question has occupied me most of my life, and it has taken me on a journey through <em>world<\/em>, <em>nature<\/em>\u00a0and <em>self<\/em>.<\/p><p>It has taken me from my native Germany to Los Angeles, where I worked as a television journalist and later studied Regional and International Development\u00a0at the <a href=\"https:\/\/luskin.ucla.edu\/urban-planning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of California, Los Angeles<\/a> (UCLA).<\/p><p>It has taken me on a year-long voyage that started in Istanbul and, after winding through India and China, ended in the American Midwest, where I became an organic farmer and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Permaculture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">permaculture designer<\/a>.<\/p><p>It has taken me to Kansas City, where I co-founded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cultivatekc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cultivate Kansas City <\/a>and spent eight years working with diverse urban communities to facilitate a dialog about growing food in cities and sustainable urban design.<\/p><p>It has taken me to the South of France, where I lived for two years in <a href=\"http:\/\/plumvillage.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plum Village<\/a>, the monastery of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Besides studying meditation, I helped guide the establishment of <a href=\"https:\/\/plumvillage.org\/community\/happy-farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Happy Farm<\/a>, where mindfulness and Earth stewardship are cultivated alongside organic vegetables. And in 2016, after nearly 28 years abroad, it has taken me back to Germany and the <a href=\"http:\/\/prinzessinnengarten-kollektiv.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prinzessinnengarten Kollektiv Berlin<\/a> under the heading of \u201chealing and seeing anew.\u201d<\/p><p>I have worked with refugees in Berlin and Kansas City. As an adjunct professor I have taught sustainable urban design at the <a href=\"https:\/\/sse.umkc.edu\/academics\/programs\/architecture-urban-planning-plus-design.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Missouri, Kansas City<\/a> (UMKC), discovered the healing power of transformative mediation in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccrkc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restorative justice program<\/a>\u00a0and volunteered in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofw.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prisoner rehabilitation program<\/a>, walking with inmates the often difficult journey toward self-acceptance and self-love.<\/p><p>In Berlin I completed training to be a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zertifizierte-Mediatoren-Ausbildungsverordnung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Certified Mediator<\/a>. This is in addition to similar training I received at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccrkc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas City Center for Conflict Resolution<\/a> in the USA in 2014. I am thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to realize my long-held intention to contribute to greater understanding and peace in the world. In these difficult times, I really cannot think of a more meaningful challenge for myself.<\/p><p>And so I hold out hope that we will eventually adopt ways to live peacefully and sustainably on this planet. Amid news of ecological breakdown, climate change, political turmoil, refugee crises, pandemics, economic insecurity and war, I am encouraged that simple practices such as mindfulness, meditation and new ways of handling conflict can change the way we speak and listen to one another and to the Earth. With practices like these we can learn to be happier and kinder; we can gradually transform the pain within us; and we may stop chasing that which we don\u2019t need, leaving more for those in need.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4524f0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b4524f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2632e09 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2632e09\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10dbd30 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"10dbd30\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7569908 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7569908\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Free Consultation<\/h4><p>I invite you to contact me for a free initial consultation to discuss how I can be a resource for you.<\/p><p>Phone: +(49) 0163 1389929<br \/>Email: <a href=\"mailto:mail@danieldermitzel.com\">mail@danieldermitzel.com<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e6b090 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1e6b090\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ce078d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9ce078d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94dbce2 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"94dbce2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Effective ways to reestablish connection &amp;
