Restorative Justice Circle Training with Kay Pranis Summer 2025 hosted by Hidden Water

Description

Hosted by Hidden Water

Description: 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.
