repair harm & restore harmony

At restorative justice practice (rjp) we believe that “we are greater than, and greater for, the sum of us.”

-Heather McGhee

We practice a time-old tradition of circling people up with skill and strategy to transform conflicts, support groups’ best collective decision making (ie. equity) and avoid litigation or the criminal justice system where possible. We embolden organizations’ missions with:

• holistic culture & relationship building

• communication routines & rituals

• conflict transformation education & facilitation

• asset based community development community organizing

• mindfulness based strategies to advance equity

Our team is dedicated to and skilled at providing effective and compassionate solutions for a range of challenges, from workplace disputes to community organizing that promotes accountability, integrity, healing and trust.

Through the art and science of restorative justice practices, we work to foster positive and productive interpersonal dynamics, leading to win-win-win outcomes for all involved.

Who does restorative justice practice with?

• Have you been harmed?

  • We practice with people ready to receive meaningful amends and work towards collective healing.

• Have you intentionally or unintentionally caused harm?

  • We practice with people ready to take responsibility & make meaningful amends without assigning blame or punishment.

• Is an important relationship at stake?

  • We practice with people ready to see how they simultaneously caused harm and were harmed & want to take mutual responsibly to restore the relationship.

• Would you like your group to make decisions more effectively together?

  • We practice with groups that could benefit from support in their decision making process to ensure all voices and interests contribute to the outcome.

• Would you like your organization to operate with greater equity?

  • We work with organizations and leadership teams that are willing to share decision making power in a way that honors all voices & interests.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we are here to walk with you in your restorative process.
