For aspiring facilitators working with either community-based or government agencies offering restorative dialogue services for responsible and impacted parties.

Friday, December 1, 2023, 9:30AM - 2:00PM Central Standard Time
For restorative justice facilitators wanting to incorporate deep listening, silence, and non-directive approaches in hard but healing conversations. This interactive learning workshop is designed to help facilitators recognize what they bring to the process, and how such mindfulness can open up new horizons for harming and harmed parties to experience richer connections and outcomes.
