We believe that in order to transform disputes, each party’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs must be addressed. These “four worlds” must be carefully considered in a holistic manner. Four Worlds consultants guide negotiations in a way that increases stakeholder inclusion and finds common ground between people who share natural resources, or are involved in other difficult discussions, such as inter- or intra-faith issues.
We use proven methods to resolve surface and groundwater conflicts, along with broader environmental disputes. We look for points of both collaboration & conflict. Together we explore different outcomes and solutions.
We work with entire congregations or select members of single and multi-faith communities to transform disputes and begin healing.
We have extensive expertise managing water conflicts. In addition, we also provide a wide range of services related to water use, conservation, and management.
We provide training and workshops in capacity building, water conflict management, collaborative process design, cooperative dialogue, as well as on-call consulting services for parties navigating competing interests.
As working scientists and educators, we mediate between “dueling experts” often hired in natural resource disputes, and can offer alternatives for dialog based on the science itself.
Our expert coaching opens new possibilities in all aspects of work, play, and personal life.
Positive transformation
in our relationship with our world’s water and with each other.
