Welcome to SKWKY
A guided space for working through a hard conversation together. We'll move through it one step at a time.
Four stages
You'll move through four stages — your opening statements, exploring what happened, discussing what could help, and wrapping up. Each stage has its own rhythm, and we'll guide you through the transitions.
You drive. The mediator supports.
The SKWKY mediator is here to help you hear each other — it'll ask questions, slow things down, or suggest a pause when you need one. But the two of you drive the conversation forward. Nothing gets resolved unless you do the work.
One voice at a time
Messages go back and forth, one at a time. Read and sit with what the other person said before you reply.
Watch the water
The water level on screen reflects how the conversation is going. The higher the water, the healthier the dialogue — when it drops, it's a signal to slow down.
How we speak matters
This is a space for honesty, not for cruelty. If the language gets unsafe, the conversation will pause itself — so we can come back to it with care.
It's okay to pause
Tap the clock at the bottom any time to take a breath. The mediator may suggest one too when things get heavy — saying yes is a strength, not a step back.
You can step away
Once you've both given your opening statement, you can end the conversation at any time. Whatever you shared and how the conversation went will be visible to the admin who set this up.
Reaching a resolution
If you work through all four stages together, the mediator will draft a resolution for you both to read and agree on. The outcome — whether you agree or not — is shared with the admin.
Commit to the process
This works when you both commit to being honest, curious, and a little brave. Take it seriously — the person on the other side is doing the same. Ready?
