Learn skills for building a restorative cultureRestorative Training focuses on learning and developing the core skills of restorative principles and practices, emphasizing circle keeping and its application in many settings which include restorative justice, education and community. We promise there will be no PowerPoint presentations. Our training events are highly experiential. You can look forward to learning by doing, as you are immersed in a direct and intimate experience of what it is like to be in circles. We will guide you through a process of discovering the power of circles. You will learn how to conduct circles effectively in a variety of settings, such as Post-Fire Community Listening Circles and Community Healing Circles. When you complete our training, you will be an integral part of a growing network of persons trained in restorative principles.
