DESCRIPTION:
This two-day experiential training prepares participants to design and facilitate restorative circles. Participants will directly experience circles; understand the elements, philosophy, and rituals of the circles; and practice both planning and facilitation of circles. Circles are a structured form of dialogue based on indigenous values and principles. Circles foster a sense of community based on mutual respect with broad applications in many different contexts. This workshop will introduce the fundamental principles of restorative justice and prepare participants to use talking circles within their own context: schools, youth-serving organizations, universities, corrections, social services, families, workplaces, faith organizations, and communities.
