We believe that participatory learning and decision-making should be accessible, affordable, and fun. We love to learn new things, exchange ideas, engage in brave conversations, and test theoretical models of restorative practices in the real world.
That’s why we design and host events that provide our learning community with regular opportunities for discovery, analysis, and praxis. We hope you’ll join us for the constellation of Building a New Reality events.
