THE TRANSFORMATIVE MEDIATION STUDIO

Are you inspired by the transformative approach to mediation, and the goal of prioritizing party self-determination above all else?

Would you like to dive deeper into the approach, so you can bring out the best in your clients while trusting them and supporting their choices?

If so, you may be a great fit for the Transformative Mediation Studio, a support and development community for mediators who would like to deepen their understanding of the transformative approach, connect with others, and hone their skills.

In the Studio, you’ll start where you are, focus on the areas you’d like to develop, and grow as a transformative mediator through live group sessions, ongoing discussions, and a growing library of resources.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?


The Studio is a place of co-creation, where members bring their questions, struggles, and challenges so we can work through them together. Each question or challenge provides fodder for new material and content, allowing the Studio to evolve over time.

As a member, here’s what you’ll get…


  • Monthly live drop-in sessions, which include demonstrations, Q&A’s, and opportunities to practice and receive feedback
  • 24/7 access to an online community where you can ask questions and get support between the live sessions
  • A growing library of resources, including recorded workshops, demos, practice prompts, annotated role-plays, sample "scripts," and more, so you can access what you need, when you need it
  • Access to reduced-rate 1:1 coaching


WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Studio is ideal for you if…

  • You believe in mediation’s potential to bring out the best in people
  • You’re motivated to develop your skills as a transformative mediator at your own pace, on your own schedule
  • You’re excited to help shape a new support and development community for transformative mediators 🥳


LIVE SESSIONS

Live drop-in sessions are held on the third Tuesday of every month from 11am - 12:30pm Eastern, beginning October 20th (with special guest, Dan Simon!).

Sessions are recorded for those who cannot attend.

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT?

$45/month (or $120/3 months)

Early bird rate (available through October 15th, space permitting*): $35/month (or $90/3 months)

Members keep their rate for as long as they maintain their membership.

WHEN DOES THIS BEGIN?

The new core tier membership level will open October 10th, when you'll have access to the full resource library and community.

*There is a "loose cap" of 30 members for this tier.

"the epitome of mediation at its highest level"

“Tara has the rare ability to preach her belief with enough humility and openness that make it approachable and easy to digest. For me, Transformative Mediation was always the epitome of mediation at its highest level. The idea of self-determination, which sits at the core of all mediation theory, is distilled in the transformative philosophy to its purest form… Thank you Tara for making it so enjoyable and thought-provoking.”

THE TRANSFORMATIVE MEDIATION STUDIO

The New Support and Development Community for Transformative Mediators

June 12, 2026 (updated September 20, 2026)

Are you inspired by the transformative approach to mediation, and the goal of prioritizing party self-determination above all else?

Would you like to dive deeper into the approach, so you can bring out the best in your clients while trusting them and supporting their choices?

If so, you may be a great fit for the Transformative Mediation Studio, the support and development community, coached practice group, and resource hub, all rolled into one (now, with a new "core tier" option).

The purpose of the Studio is to provide flexible support to mediators who are sold on the transformative approach, but do not yet feel prepared to use it in “the real world."

It's also for those who've been practicing the approach, but have run into challenges and would like to deepen their understanding and hone their skills.

If this sounds like you, be sure and check out the details here.

Hope to see you in the Studio!
