This training blends practical tools with reflection, embodied practice, and real-world scenarios, equipping participants to begin facilitating restorative conversations with greater clarity, confidence, and care. Participants will explore the core values and frameworks of restorative justice while developing the relational, ethical, and self-awareness skills essential to facilitation. Through interactive learning, case studies, role play, and guided reflection, participants will learn how to hold space for difficult conversations, navigate harm and accountability, and support repair without rushing to resolution.

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of restorative processes, foundational tools for facilitation, and the readiness to observe and co-facilitate restorative conversations with support. This training is well-suited for educators, community leaders, organizational staff, mediators, clinicians, justice-impacted practitioners, and anyone seeking to deepen their capacity to work skillfully with conflict and harm.
