The Building a New Reality (BANR) Foundation is a nonpartisan evidence-based learning community supporting new models for bringing democracy to everyday life.
We are primarily an educational organization. We provide books, writings, videos and host events to facilitate learning for our participants.
Building upon a foundation of restorative practices, we envision ways to foster collaboration. Our goal? To Build a New Reality across Six Facets of Society, one that’s better for everyone, because everyone will a voice and a say in what happens to us. If you are joining us for the first time, we recommend watching our founder Ted Wachtel’s Expanding Restorative video below and signing up to join our email list.
