“Truly listening, making the time and space to hear someone out, is one of the greatest gifts you can give to another person,” said Mitchell, Ku‘ikahi executive director.

Ku‘ikahi’s “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. Talks are the third Thursday of every month. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch and enjoy an informal and educational talk-story session.

The series is made possible in part with funding from the Atherton Family Foundation. For more information, contact Gail Takaki at 935-7844, ext. 9, email gail@hawaiimediation.org or visit www.hawaiimediaiton.org.
