Welcome to the Restorative Practices Film Series.
We strongly recommend that you watch these films within the context of a community of practice. They are powerful and transformational learning tools, and we want you to be able to discuss what you are learning and be actively engaged in community. The films provide a deep-dive into the theory and practice of connection phenomenology, with many of our faculty and mentors, including Dr. Vincent Felitti MD, Dr. Stephen Porges PhD, Dr. David Mars PhD, Lee Mun Wah, Earl Simms, Tiara Maldonaldo, Doug Woodson, Ilarion Merculieff, and John Stokes. They will teach you an integrated conceptual framework and strategies for taking responsibility for your own well-being. You will learn about mindful awareness, neurophysiology, deep nature connection, healthy relationships, dismantling oppression, and cultural linguistics.
