Just Systems

Restorative Culture is…

  •  centered around relationship
  •  one in which our humanity is re-claimed and celebrated
  •  a “compass” rather than a “map”
  •  one in which covenants – rather than contracts – are sought
  •  one in which individual voices are heard and acknowledged
  •  one in which justice – rather than order – is sought
  •  a way of “being,” not merely “doing”
  •  an intentional way of finding peace and living peacefully

Together they have trained over 2,500 educators throughout the mid-west, in California, and South Africa in areas of Cultural Competency, Implicit Bias, and Restorative Justice.
