As people find themselves on different sides of issues, conflict is inevitable. We recognize that conflicts can deeply impact individuals and communities, and we also believe that Restorative Practices can provide ways for navigating conflicts so they become opportunities for learning, growth, and transformation.
 
Participants in these workshops are invited to consider new ways of engaging conflict with a recognition of power dynamics, practicing active listening and listening to understand, considering intent and impact, and identifying and addressing unmet needs that often cause conflict to occur. Participants learn about and practice "calling in," using affective language, restorative conversations, and accepting feedback as a gift.​
