Conflict resolution made easy: How to stop any argument!

Resolving conflicts with Pink Periwinkle in the Neflental

In the Neflental, the time of the harvest bonfire is dawning. The trees bear golden leaves, everything glows a fiery red and chocolate brown. A light scent of smoke hangs over the meadows, as wood fires burn everywhere. On the large harvest bonfire clearing, everyone is preparing for the festival. A good atmosphere prevails between humans and forest dwellers, but then a dispute suddenly arises.

Rosa Immergrün arrives at the clearing, already hearing the loud voices from afar. The Flossians want to show their dances by the fire. However, the Buchians want to sing a song by the fire first. Both groups are talking over each other. No one is properly listening to the other. The first group starts shoving, and it looks like everything is about to go wrong.

Rosa Immergrün paused for a moment, then called out: „Stop! Stay where you are, take a break!“ Everyone looked at her in surprise. Rosa Immergrün walked friendly towards the two groups. She asked the Flossians to explain their wishes. Then she asked the Buchians what was important to them.

When everyone speaks quietly, everyone notices that both groups just want to show what they can do. They want everyone to enjoy the harvest festival clearing. The argument only arose because no one had listened. Rosa Immergrün speaks slowly and calmly. „How about you both do something together by the fire?“ she suggests.

The idea excites many. The Buchians strike up their song. The Flossians dance to it. Together, they create something new that brings much more joy than arguing.

The Magic of the Ice Rose Garden

After the festival, Rosa Immergrün and some friends leave the harvest bonfire clearing. They walk through the valley. To the north, tiny flakes are already glittering on the meadows. They reach the Ice Rose Garden. There, roses grow whose blossoms sparkle under a thin layer of crystal-clear ice.

Everyone marvels at the beauty. Rosa the Periwinkle explains: „The roses only grow when there is peace. The ice protects them, but they continue to bloom underneath.“ Then everyone understands: Just as an argument can sometimes freeze and turn cold, friendship can melt the ice again. Those who listen often find a good solution.

This is how you stop every argument in the Neflental

Sometimes everyone is a bit like at the Harvest Festival bonfire. Everyone believes they are right, and no one listens. But Rosa Immergrün has shown how easy it is to stop an argument:

You can say „Stop!“ if it gets too loud. You can ensure that everyone gets a chance to state their wishes. Together, you are sure to find a solution that pleases everyone. The magical power of the Neflental helps with this, but you can also end conflicts in everyday life with heart and mind.

What do we learn from this?

In the Neflental valley, residents celebrate together because they listen to each other. In case of arguments, it helps to stay calm and talk. Just like the flowers in the ice rose garden, beauty sometimes waits beneath a cold layer. Be brave – speak kindly, listen, and be open to others. Together, you can do it!
