Restorative Circles are increasingly valued for their ability to support communities of many kinds – families, schools, work teams, faith groups, neighbourhoods…. – to understand and benefit from engaging with conflict and
difference. In an interactive day of demonstration and experiential learning, Dominic Barter will present the key elements of Restorative Circles as they have been developed in Brazil, and of the development of a systemic context that supports their use. We will focus on the evolution and practice of the process, and its application to various types of conflict, ranging from family disagreements to criminal conduct. Through exploration of key concepts, grounded in a step-by-step process and illustrated by real world examples, we’ll envision ways of bringing it to our own communities.
Participants will be invited to apply the learning to their own social and personal contexts and increase their ability to see and act restoratively. See interview with Dominic Barter here.
Price: We ask for a donation to support Dominic’s continued work, see below.

From Dominic Barter; Co-creating the Financial Resources for these Events and Our Work:
We are committed to making Restorative Circles available to as many people as we can -so we do not want money to be a barrier to your partici-pation. While Dominic developed this work, he sees it as part of our community heritage, and to be shared freely by those who practice it. As such, there is no specific fee required for participation in this event.
To fund the ongoing growth of Restorative Circles, and the projects Dominic and others support, we invite you to help cover the costs of this visit to Denmark and the livelihood of Dominic and his family, as well as some of the people helping get the work to those requesting it around the world.
We will share information on these financial costs during the event, as well as ways you may contribute, if you wish.”
