Sheung Wan · Mediation Workshops
Halcyon Hall runs small mediation skills workshops in a quiet studio above Hollywood Road. Two days, a circle of chairs, and the patient work of learning to listen well when feelings are running high.
Studio · Halcyon Hall, 6/F, 47 Hollywood Road
What we offer
Mediation is a skill that asks for repetition, not a method that arrives in a single sitting. We offer three formats — open to anyone, shaped around a single team, or a half-day return for graduates wanting to revisit a particular thread.
Workshop · Two Days
Two days of mediation and conversational practice — active listening, framing of disputes, working with strong emotion in a room, and facilitator self-care. Small-group rounds with structured debriefs.
Bespoke · In-House
A bespoke version of the workshop for a single organisation, sized between six and sixteen participants. We scope the team's recurring conversational situations and write practice scenarios drawn from their own work.
Half-Day · Returning
A standalone half-day session for graduates of past workshops. Each session takes a single theme — working with silence, or handling structural power asymmetries — combining short input with practice rounds and shared reflection.
Why Halcyon Hall
We run small rooms because mediation skills are built through rehearsal and feedback — not lectures. The work is slow, sometimes uncomfortable, and worth doing carefully.
Twelve participants maximum on open workshops. Everyone has multiple turns in the chair across two days.
Each practice round is followed by a careful debrief. Feedback is specific, framed kindly, and kept in the room.
Participants leave with notes, frameworks, and reflection prompts to keep working with after the room empties.
Four weeks later, a one-to-one reflection call with a facilitator. Most learning happens in the weeks after a workshop.
Sessions on facilitator self-care are built into every workshop. The work is demanding; we treat it that way.
A short selection of essays and case notes arrives a week before, so we begin from shared ground.
Considering a workshop?
A short note is enough. We'll suggest the workshop best suited to where you are and answer any practical questions about dates, group size, or fit.
Questions we're often asked
Anyone who finds themselves holding difficult conversations as part of their work — managers, HR practitioners, lawyers, social workers, community leaders, school deans. No prior mediation training is needed; we ask only that participants come willing to practice and be observed.
Most of the two days is practice. Each participant takes the mediator's chair multiple times across the workshop, with role-played scenarios and structured debriefs after each round. Short framing inputs sit between practice sets, never replace them.
The HKD 4,800 fee for the open-enrolment workshop covers the two days in the studio, pre-reading sent ahead, a printed participant workbook, refreshments through both days, and a one-to-one follow-up reflection call four weeks after the workshop.
Yes. What participants share in the room stays in the room. We work from role-played scenarios rather than asking anyone to bring real cases by name; if personal material does surface, we hold it carefully and don't discuss it elsewhere.
The In-House Team Workshop is built for that. It begins with two scoping conversations, then runs as a closed two-day workshop using practice scenarios drawn from your team's actual conversational landscape. Group size sits between six and sixteen.
Cancellations more than fourteen days before the workshop receive a full refund minus a small administrative fee. Within fourteen days we offer a transfer to a later cohort. Details are in the booking confirmation.
Open workshops are run in English. For in-house team workshops we can deliver in English, in Cantonese, or bilingually depending on the team — please mention this during scoping and we'll match a facilitator accordingly.
Where we work
Sixth floor of a quiet building above Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan. Two minutes from Sheung Wan MTR exit A2.
Short and unhurried is fine. A sentence about the work you do is often enough.
