Session Description:

This session will take participants into a deep learning space for building relationships and developing an intentional sense of community. Participants will use the circle process to build trust and maintain strong relationships within a community so that individuals are less likely to harm one another and are more invested in repairing relationships should conflict occur. Participants will engage in experiential activities to explore their own mindset, establish community agreements, explore equity, and repair harm. Using NewRoot best-practice planning tools, attendees will leave this workshop understanding how to facilitate a circle that supports others in a process of mutual understanding and repair.

Registration will remain open until 7/18/25 at 5:00 PM. Space is limited, so please register soon! If you have questions, please email Y2hyaXMgfCBuZXdyb290ICEgb3Jn.
