Whether you are a teacher\, parent\, principal\, health care provider or authority figure\, you can benefit from restorative practices. Over the course of this program\, you’ll be part of a supportive learning group on a fulfilling journey of growth and change. \nThrough discussions\, exercises and other practical activities you’ll deepen your knowledge of the philosophy behind restorative practices. You’ll also gain techniques to build strong\, connected cultures. When conflict occurs you’ll have non-adversarial problem-solving tools to reach solutions that build safer\, healthier\, more equitable environments. \nPractice new ways of relating to people and holding power. Instead of experiencing resistance and avoidance or having to rely on lecturing\, scolding and threatening interventions\, the systematic use of restorative practices will leave you and the people you interact with feeling connected to positive\, resilient and accountable communities.

Along the way\, you’ll enter the core of a giant star just before it implodes\, experience the quiet demise of a star like the Sun\, and see how colliding stars seed the Universe with the building blocks of life.
