What is a Restorative Circle?
In a restorative community-building circle, individuals come together in a structured and inclusive dialogue format to build community, promote healing, or address conflicts. This facilitation technique emphasizes open communication, active listening, and shared responsibility. Circles provide a safe space for participants to express their feelings, perspectives, hurts, and needs, fostering a deeper understanding among those involved.
