Supporting Right Relationship, Healing,
and ACcountability in Higher Education
What I Do:
I help colleges, universities, and communities build restorative cultures that last. From introductory workshops, to multi-day facilitator trainings, to standing up full campus RJ programs, I work with institutions at any step in the process of building a restorative campus. Restorative justice is a way of moving toward right relationship, and a path toward more just institutions and communities. I've helped stand up campus programs that are still thriving years later, and I would love to help your campus do the same!

What Are “Restorative Practices”?
Restorative Practices (RP) are, at their core, an approach to being in right relationship with others. This state of right relationship is pursued through the promotion of accountability, healing, and strong relationships. Using a combination of facilitated dialogue, values development and personal skill-building, RP provides a scaffolding which supports a healthy community, before, during, and after a harm has occurred.
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a particular subsection of RP which focuses on repairing and moving forward after someone in a community has done harm. RJ has been described as a modern practice with ancient roots.[1] The fundamental forms and philosophies that undergird this work draw from many traditions and fonts of wisdom. Principal among these are Indigenous practices, lifeways, and technologies of a wide variety of Peoples, most notably Indigenous Peoples in North America, Australia, and New Zealand.
Whether your campus is just discovering these practices or sustaining an established program, explore the trainings, consulting, and facilitation pages, or just reach out!
