About Our Events

No matter where you are in your restorative justice journey, there’s something for you. Join us for an introductory level workshop, a deep-dive into a particular topic, or an in-depth training experience.

Intro to Restorative Justice

These 3.5 hour virtual workshops offer an introductory experience to restorative justice. They are ideal for individuals who are new to restorative justice and wish to learn about restorative practices like circle process and their applications in ministry.

Deepening Circles

These virtual workshops allow emerging and experienced practitioners in restorative justice ministries to reflect together on important themes and common challenges of restorative justice implementation. These events are offered through the RJ Ministry Community of Practice. Learn more about our community!

New Offering: Circle Keeper Cafe
