Restorative Listening Circles offer an inclusive and collaborative space for participants to share openly and build trust with each other. Everyone will have a chance to speak without interruption and all voices are valued as equally important. Circles strengthen community relationships and provide the space to understand others\u2019 perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n
