DESCRIPTION: This two-day, online 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, with particular focus on school and education settings.

This training will be facilitated in a virtual-circle Zoom meeting format. Participants will receive a Zoom meeting link and training materials a few days prior to the training.

PAYMENT: Payments should be arranged prior to attending the training. For an invoice to generate purchase order payment please contact CRJ staff. Packages and discounted rates available upon request.
