Join a Community of Practice
Available in select locations– and now remotely...
Due to the pandemic, we've begun offering our signature model remotely for people who can't attend live sessions.
The Restorative Practices model is designed to be an immersive in-person learning experience with a cohort of 15 peers. This group is facilitated by two certified instructors, and meets together, every two weeks, for 10-12 sessions. Each session is 3 hours of in-person time, with a focus on creating safety and authentic relationships within the group. This circle, the enso, or Zen circle, is a living ancestral technology. Since our earliest human ancestors descended from the trees, we have been gathering in circles around a fire to tell stories, laugh, dance, sing, conduct ceremonies, and share wisdom. The circle is the ancestral hearth, where every member of the tribe sits equi-distant from the source of light and warmth at the center.

a growing network around the world
In 2019 we activated a pilot site in the Bay Area of Northern California that hosted regular cohorts of the Restorative Practices model prior to COVID-19. We now host face-to-face cohorts at our eco-reserve 01 in Northern California. Remote cohorts allow us to attend to participants around the world.

If your aspiration is to teach with us, or to bring the model to your clinic or healthcare setting, you'll need a site that meets the requirements, and two certified facilitators. All facilitators begin by participating in a cohort. All cohorts begin with an introduction. Those are the pre-requisites. So, first do FIRST, then SECOND. On your introductory call, make sure you let the facilitator know (they will ask) that you are interested in becoming certified, or bringing the model to your clinic or healthcare setting.
