Restorative Justice Circles are structured and intentional spaces where individuals come together for interconnectedness. At the heart of Restorative Justice Circles lies the principle of building connection through authentic interactions.

Circles foster a culture of listening and empathy, allowing individuals to express their needs and emotions openly. Participants include those directly affected by harm. Harm circles bring together victims, offenders, community members, and trained facilitators who guide the process with compassion and active listening.

In a Restorative Justice Circle, participants take turns speaking, often guided by a "talking piece" that symbolizes respect and equality. Through intentional dialogue, the circle collectively works to identify the impact of harm, understand its root causes, and co-create resolutions that promote healing and accountability.
