Restorative Justice Conferences:

Restorative Justice is a community accountability process which invites all who are harmed by an incident to participate in a facilitated conference with the person responsible for the harm.

Each restorative conference strives to produce a community agreement which consists of actions centered on the needs of those harmed and to be fulfilled by the responsible party in an effort to repair the damage done to the community and relationships.

I have facilitated restorative justice conferences that addressed:

• Sexual Harassment

• Racism

• Antisemitism

• Assault

• Theft

• Discrimination

Community Listening Circles:

Listening Circles are a facilitated space that welcomes participants to share their thoughts and feelings with others about a specific issue or topic affecting the community. Listening circles don’t seek to repair a specific harm, even as they may focus on one.

Listening circles support people to freely express themselves, foster deeper understanding with one another, and identify common themes which can guide community goals and next steps.

I have facilitated listening circles about:

• School Climate

• Workplace Climate

• Bullying

• Parenting

• School Consolidation

• Racism and White Privilege

• Sexual Violence

Training & Professional Development:

Half-day and full-day training is available to groups in person or virtually. Both Adult and Youth training is available. Although any contract for youth programming must include an adult programming component.
