In-person Restorative Justice Keeper Training with Kay Pranis (3-DAY)

Description

About This Event

This training is an experiential training, teaching the basic components of Circle Keeping while having an experience of being in circle.  We cover both community building and building safety in a circle, basic processes and prompts.  By the end of this training, each student should be ready to hold a simple circle on their own in a safe setting.

The Peacemaking Circle is used to build community, promote healing and transform conflict both as a prevention practice and an intervention practice when relationships are disrupted.  

This training will introduce participants to the peacemaking circle process and explore:

-foundational values and philosophy of peacemaking circles,

-creating safe, respectful space for dialog,

-structure of the circle process,

-facilitation of the circle process,

-practical applications of circle process,

-problems and challenges in circles,

-consensus decision making,

-cultural transformation through the use of circles.

This training goes deep and while this training is designed for both Hidden Water Keepers in-training and participants coming to learn for their own personal or professional reasons, topics of child sexual abuse or other traumas may come up.
