What are Restorative Circles?
A Restorative Circle is a community process for supporting those in conflict.
It brings together three parties to a conflict:
- those who have acted,
- those directly impacted and
- the wider community
The circle is organised as a dialogue of equals.
Participants invite each other and attend voluntarily.
The dialogue process used is shared openly with all participants, and guided by a community member.
The process ends when actions have been found that bring mutual benefit
Dominic has been organising those circles in Rio de Janeiro - one of the most challenging environments on the planet - with astonishing results. Please check out the 8 minute video and judge for yourself.
As you will see the principles of Authentic Communication play a key role in the process.
Enjoy
