Working with faith-based communities, higher education and schools, and various community groups, Anne’s practice is based on the belief that repairing and building healthy relationships should be the primary focus for finding transformative solutions to conflict and harm. Her work is rooted in circle, an indigenous process designed to address the underlying influences that are harming people, families, and groups of people within our communities. Anne is currently a consultant for the Office of Restorative Justice at the Catholic Diocese of Orange in California.
