My Restorative Practices Playshop Experience
This past weekend, Jim and Jori Manske put on a playshop on Restorative Solutions and Nonviolent Communication. That was December 9, 10 and 11th.
It was a great experience and I furthered my knowledge and depth of empathy practice. We had a wonderful mock restorative justice circle on Sunday to end, and it was great to see how justice can come about when connection and understanding and empathy are the values instead of blame and punishment.
I so long for this model to be used where I live, so that we can have more peace and connection, and smaller and smaller prisons and a safer and safer community. I encourage you to take us up on our offer to do Nonviolent Communication seminars, restorative seminars, for an evening, a day or a weekend, for your group.
