restorative circles

Restorative circles are a collaborative approach used to resolve conflicts and foster community. Participants sit in a circle to ensure equality and open communication. A facilitator guides the discussion, allowing everyone to share their thoughts and feelings. The focus is on understanding the impact of actions, taking accountability, and finding solutions that repair harm. This method promotes healing, builds relationships, and creates a supportive environment, making it suitable for schools, workplaces, and communities. By emphasizing empathy and connection, restorative circles aim to restore harmony rather than merely punish wrongdoing.
