Conflict is a normal part of the human experience. Navigating conflict with grace can be difficult. We may be called in to try to resolve conflicts, or help people navigate them. What are your experiences with using restorative practices for conflict resolution? What questions do you have around these practices? Have you experienced challenges in using or being involved with restorative practices to resolve a conflict? Let’s get together and share our experiences and learn from each other.

With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
