Helping people cultivate safe and supportive communities rooted in relationship and belonging

Even in communities with a strong relational foundation, disagreements and differences naturally arise. It’s a part of being human! So how do we address conflict in a way that that strengthens, rather than divides, us?

At Pathways to Restorative Communities (P2RC), we believe that conflict is an opportunity for growth and connection. We help schools and communities build strong, healthy relationships that foster belonging, dignity, and respect for all. Through restorative practices rooted in the principles of Restorative Justice and informed by Indigenous traditions, we provide training and facilitation that cultivate empathy, repair harm, and strengthen community. We are committed to advancing justice in education, honoring the voices of all people, and working to dismantle systems of oppression while supporting environments where every individual is seen, heard, and valued.

“I believe that Restorative Practices can build a better, more compassionate society. I am excited to contribute to this effort by using circles and teaching children to listen, be open-minded, share, feel OK to feel vulnerable, and feel safe and respected in who they are.” - Teacher, Circle Keeper
