A brief outline of our Restorative Justice Integrated Workshop: 

• Educational Component: What is restorative justice? We will be exploring the definition, principles, roots and benefits of Restorative Justice as well as addressing myths about it. 
• Interactive Component: Participants reflect on themes of forgiveness, repair and accountability within their own lives. Restorative approaches to justice are explored within varying contexts of their own lives; embodied learning strategies include reflection through writing, partner/group sharing, and mindfulness practices, including meditation and visualization. 
• Integrative Component: The group comes together to mastermind ways to implement restorative principles into their daily lives; participants collectively create a toolkit of strategies and potential actionable changes to implement restorative justices into their daily lives. 
• Summation: Closing circle with space for sharing.
