Restorative Community Justice of Southern Vermont

Our mission is to promote restorative practices that prevent, address, and change behaviors that hurt individuals, families, schools, and communities. These practices focus on repairing harm and reintegrating those involved in conflict back into the community by talking about important issues, improving relationships, creating a peaceable climate, and nurturing critical awareness of each person's valued place in their community. We create opportunities and provide resources for people to achieve these goals.

November 28th, 3-5pm- Going Deeper with Restorative Circles, Facilitated by Laurie Rabut and Dan DeWalt

Continue to practice role play and learn the process of setting up and practicing a restorative circle.

We will use role-playing as a tool to give participant practice with intake and facilitation skills. This training will pay close attention to language, non-violent communication, non-verbal communication and other skills that help people develop trust and calm when in a state of conflict, leading to possibilities of resolution and rebuilding of relationships.

This is a continuation of the introduction to Restorative Circles; if you did not take the introductory workshop but have experience with these concepts, you are welcome to jump in!
