Over the 4-Day Restorative Circles Overview and Facilitator Practice trainings, Dominic Barter touched hearts and inspired participant leaders to start specific Restorative Circle programs in their businesses, schools, healthcare centers, and justice departments in dozens of staes and countries.

 

The Restorative Systems method is centered on three parts:

  • PreCircle - Initiated by the Receiver of an Act that has caused harm
  • Circle - Comprised of the Author of the Act, Receiver, and Comunity directly affected by the Act
  • Post-Circle - Follow-up to support Action Plan agreed in the Circle

Restorative Circles and setting-up the system to support them are clear and easy if a community is willing. For a discussion of the potential for your community of bringing Restorative Circles as a way to prevent, pre-empt and move past harm perceived in your businesses, organizations, healthcare centes, offices, schools, communities, nerighborhoods and homes please email Linda@CivilServices.us .

MORE INFO on October 2010 Leadership Training Team:
 

Dominic Barter   began developing restorative practices in the 90’s, inspired by the social complexity of Rio de Janeiro, his adopted home, and his study with Marshall Rosenberg in Nonviolent Communication. Since 2004 he has been the training program director and consultant to the Brazilian Justice Department’s Restorative Justice pilot projects, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, as well as the Special Secretariat for Human Rights and State Secretaries for Education in Brazil.

The Civil Services  team can help you design a Restorative Program that addresses your groups' needs. We can train and support Restorative Circle facilitators within your group until they experience the comfort and skill to provide sustainable support. Your group can then address discord and differences in a way that makes

seeking restoration preferable to harboring hurt and resentment.  We can help you help yourselves.
