Details

   Our intention for the Facilitator Practice is to create a space where those facilitating Restorative Circles, or about to begin doing so, can move through this Restorative Process in an environment of mutual learning, community support and investigation. We expect it to be practice-focused, and thus ideally for those familiar with what we're doing and why we're doing it the way we are. We expect the learning experienced will mature and develop fully once taken back to local practice communities and tested in live Circles.

The Facilitator Practice is organized in a series of 3-day modules. Where possible, we recommend facilitators attend 3 such modules, for a total of 9 days learning. The modules are not designed in a sequential curriculum, but in a spiral, where key elements are revisited and integrated into our practice at increasing depths.

This event will be filmed.

Who is it for?

  So you can get the best benefit from Facilitator Practice, and so all of us can benefit from the experience of all those present - we request all participants to have taken a 2-day Introduction to Restorative Circles. Basic concepts of Restorative Circles, covered in the Intro, are essential to getting the most out of the Facilitator's Practice. (Please see details of this May 22-23 Introduction in the list of Trainings..) It is also why we ask that all participants be actively involved in - or committed to forming - Restorative Systems and /or ‘semi-simulated Restorative Circles practice groups’, facilitating and otherwise using Restorative Circless for their own conflicts.

In light of this, we read each application for the Facilitator Practice individually, to ensure we form an engaged group of potential and practicing facilitators.

What to bring:

  Please bring a brown bag lunch, or money to eat in a nearby restaurant (many within walking distance)
