The Mediation Study Club has been invaluable to me and my growth as a mediator. Special thanks to Woody for seeing the potential in me – way, way back – and inviting me to be a part of this group. I have learned so much from every member of this group.

Marybeth Holland O’Hearn, Mediator and Attorney
As a recovering litigator, it is quite exciting to commence a new way of being and doing. I’ve been meditating for the past 5 years, but have straddled between both worlds. The old one just doesn’t fit anymore. It is comforting to have a group of supportive professionals around me while making this shift. The truth is that being vulnerable and waiting for things to gently shift are not typical ways of being for an employment and family litigator. It’s refreshing to know that after 20 plus years in the other world, I can grow and change. Like some of you, I have a successful law practice, which I enjoyed for many years. I love my clients and many of my colleagues. But I have grown past this, and I need to be true to myself and the universe! I look forward to your support. I need it – to turn down litigation clients and the $$$ to make space for this practice. If I don’t do that, there is not enough space in my calendar or my heart for what is next.
