Restorative Circles offer ways for individuals, families, groups and communities to establish connection, discover meaning and recover power on profound levels. They create a forum for connecting empathically across differences and reaching agreements that support safety and well-being, both personally and within society.
Points
Restorative Circles offer a way to:
* restore the connections and relationships necessary for healthy and safe communities;
* create opportunities for everyone affected by the conflict to speak and be heard;
* engage individuals and their communities to take responsibility for particular conflicts and ownership of the process;
* tap into the resourcefulness of the community for creating next steps.
