SUMMARY:Restorative Practices to Restorative Justice: One Continuum\, Four Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Explore the principles and practical frameworks of restorative practice to heal communities\, address systemic harm\, and foster accountability. From building community to repairing harm\, a four-session interactive training with Dr. Dianne Williams \nMost trainings treat restorative practices and restorative justice as two separate subjects. This one doesn’t. Over four highly interactive sessions\, Dr. Dianne Williams presents them as two ends of a single relational continuum: the proactive work of building and holding community at one end\, the responsive work of repairing harm at the other.  She shows how the same relational mechanics run the entire span. \nThis is not a lecture series. You’ll sit in circles\, not just learn about them. You’ll keep a circle\, facilitate a restorative conversation\, and be coached live as you do it. Seasoned practitioners and newcomers train side by side\, with practice rounds deliberately pairing experience with fresh perspective so everyone leaves sharper. Between the two weekends\, you’ll run a real relational experiment in your own context and bring it back\, turning the training into a live practice cycle\, not passive learning. \nBy the final session\, the wall between “community-building” and “repairing harm” collapses\, and you walk out able to act across the whole continuum. \n\nLead Trainer: Dr. Dianne Williams\nFormat: 4-Part Online Interactive Course (2 Weekends)\nDates & Time: October 24\, 25\, 31 & November 1 | Saturdays & Sundays\, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET.
