'A Restorative Circle is a community process for supporting those in conflict. It brings together the three parties to a conflict – those who have acted, those directly impacted and the wider community – within an intentional systemic context, to dialogue as equals. Participants invite each other and attend voluntarily.
The dialogue process used is shared openly with all participants, and guided by a community member. The process ends when actions have been found that bring mutual benefit.' The founder of this process, Dominic Barter told me it was like a series of empathy hot tubs.
The process is designed to model empathy, create empathy between the parties, and deepen empathy. There's then an empathic action component at the end.
What Are Restorative Circles?
- Pre-circle: facilitator meets separately with the parties involved
- Circle: circle process where each person is heard
- - Mutual comprehension Phase
- - Self-Responsibility
- - Agreed Action
- Post-circle: Agreements are reviewed
