The following story is the fifth installment in a new series we’re calling “10 Stories of Transition in the US.” Throughout 2018, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Transition Movement here in the United States, we will explore 10 diverse and resilient Transition projects from all over the country, in the hope that they will inspire you to take similar actions in your local community.

On Monday, July 28, 2014 Working Group Support practiced a conflict resolution model patterned loosely around debate guidelines. We have titled this; Model A. An important feature of this structure is giving each person a limited time to state their perspective on the conflict and then asking the listener to reflect back what they have heard before speaking their own perspective. This communication guideline was popularized 25 years ago when Stephen Covey published his hugely popular book, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”
WGS will be continuing to practice various models of conflict resolution in an attempt to distill a simple but powerful method to offer to Woodstock Transition for conflict resolution. Stay tuned…..
The Working Group Support Group has been meeting on a weekly basis since the beginning of 2014 with the goal of producing guidelines for conflict resolution using group process. We have completed a set of guidelines for each Working Group Support member to follow when helping others resolve conflict. This set of guidelines will be published on this site in May 2014.
