Building Restorative Systems mentoring

Introduction

The Conflict Transformation Weave has run the programme ‘Building Restorative Systems’ twice a year since 2018 – and it’s developed enormously in scope and depth since our first six week offering. People have told us many times that the content is really valuable – and also that they would like support as they encourage their groups and communities to embrace the idea of walking towards conflict. 

‘Mentoring for Building Restorative Systems’ is the result of this feedback. We want to support you in fanning the restorative flame. 

About the programme

This programme offers the opportunity to:

  • reflect deeply on your own relationship with conflict
  • deepen your understanding of what it takes to transform conflict
  • review what you’ve achieved so far and plan your next steps
  • strength your skills in supporting transformative conversations and groups
  • explore the implications of power and privilege in your circles
  • tap into the skills and experience of a supportive group.

Four sessions will be devoted to exploration, reflection and practical strategies. 

Alternating with those sessions will be three devoted exclusively to practice of:

  • specific micro-skills
  • mediations / supported conversations
  • hosting restorative circles
