Mendful is an app-in progress that will provide provide human-forward, AI-supported conflict resolution on demand. The Core Competencies Immersion training is necessary to certify to work in the app as a Mendful Conflict Resolution Coach (MCRC).

Curriculum for Mendful Conflict
Resolution (MCR) Coaching

The Mendful training provides a rich, supportive, hands-on learning community in which we use powerful mind, body, spirit, and emotion tools to help you connect with and choose your own optimal inner state.

Logistics

The Mendful CRC Training consists of:

  • Three  in-person meetings in Northern California (three full days — arrive on a Thursday , train Friday, and Saturday, and Sunday, and leaving on Monday morning).​

    • Accelerated (three-month) alpha-test cohort dates are:

      • Feb 5-9 2026​​

      • Mar 19-23 2026

      • April 30-May 4 2026

    • Six-month cohort begins July, 2026 — dates TBD

          All dates subject to change

  • Can't attend in person? Attend virtually with other enrollees. 
     

How the training works in between the three in-person meetings:

  • Pods of 4 work together mostly remotely in recorded sessions* in between the three weekends, and review others’ recorded work as well. Allow about five hours per week.

  • Review and comment on other peoples’ practice sessions

    • Observe how the clients are responding

    • Think about how you might handle the same situation

    • Offer creative alternative interventions — other ways of handling the same situation.

  • Use the feedback you receive from others as a way of:

    • Slowing down your own nervous system

    • Inquiring into what comes up for you in a given situation

    • Integrating the feedback and your responses to develop more facility with a variety of situations.

  • Monthly Zoom calls for support, coaching, Q&A.

  • Our plan is to soft-launch the app in June with Mendful Coaches certified from this first training

    * For internal use only, unless by agreement with those involved

About Jill Nagle, lead trainer

     Jill Nagle brings an incredible wealth of body, mind, spirit and emotional intelligence to the Mendful training. 

​     She founded Evolutionary Workplace, a consultancy with a focus on dismantling white supremacy, and Wisdom of the Body: Beyond Talk Therapy which offered the possibility of non-sexual physical touch along with deeply attuned listening and empathy. Through that practice, she also created and ran a 9-month Immersion training in 2017-18 using many of the techniques now available through Mendful. She also used these techniques in the 22nd Century Leaders program (of Evolutionary Workplace), co-led with Cleo Manago, for white anti-racist leaders.

​     Her background includes Nonviolent Communication (NVC) based in the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Convergent Facilitation based in the work of Miki Kashtan, Somatic Abolitionism with Resmaa Menakem, Nonviolent Communication mediation, and SEEDS mediation. She also has studied neo-Reichian character structures through a 2-year program with Lynda Caesara.

​     She brings many of these streams together into the Mendful training to create an approach to conflict resolution that is, on the one hand, deep and connected, and on the other hand, practical and efficient.

​     Her work uses NVC as an important cornerstone of internal reference. To learn more about the conceptual underpinnings of the Mendful training, please join us for one of the Concepts, Models, and Philosophies 1-hr workshops, or listen to a recording (available soon after workshop).

Jill's "hippie" bio

     I've been going to the Bay Area's Ecstatic Dance (and other Conscious Dance events) for 30+ years. I have a deep relationship with nature, and get a lot of healing, solace, replenishment, and exercise there, these days, in the hills of Sonoma County.
     I climb trees. I cultivate dorkitude as a spiritual practice. I bake cookies as an offering to the Divine, who resides at least in part in my mouth and the mouths of those I love. I also have performed several times in the Bay Area in queer and Jewish realms.
     The experience in my life I (so far) hold most sacred is having given birth at home with no drugs, no doctors, and no machines. I figured, if every mammal on the face of the planet were considered fully capable of bringing forth life on her own, then surely so could I.
