Restoring Harmony Through Justice

  • -Heather McGhee

    We practice a time-old tradition of circling people up with skill and strategy to transform conflicts, support groups’ best collective decision making (ie. equity) and avoid litigation or the criminal justice system where possible. We embolden organizations’ missions with:

    • holistic culture & relationship building

    • communication routines & rituals

    • conflict transformation education & facilitation

    • asset based community development community organizing

    • mindfulness based strategies to advance equity

    Our team is dedicated to and skilled at providing effective and compassionate solutions for a range of challenges, from workplace disputes to community organizing that promotes accountability, integrity, healing and trust.

    Through the art and science of restorative justice practices, we work to foster positive and productive interpersonal dynamics, leading to win-win-win outcomes for all involved.

    • Have you been harmed?

      • We practice with people ready to receive meaningful amends and work towards collective healing.

    • Have you intentionally or unintentionally caused harm?

      • We practice with people ready to take responsibility & make meaningful amends without assigning blame or punishment.

    • Is an important relationship at stake?

      • We practice with people ready to see how they simultaneously caused harm and were harmed & want to take mutual responsibility to restore the relationship.

    • Would you like your group to make decisions more effectively together?

      • We practice with groups that could benefit from support in their decision making process to ensure all voices and interests contribute to the outcome.

    • Would you like your organization to operate with greater equity?

      • We work with organizations and leadership teams that are willing to share decision making power in a way that honors all voices & interests.

    If you answered yes to any of these questions, we are here to walk with you in your restorative process.

Testimonials

  • "You definitely have a magic touch in conflict transformation. It was a really necessary and helpful conversation to mend some of the tension that my relationship was holding. Thank you for helping me prepare. I felt a lot of my anger and resentment melt away and felt glimmers of our old friendship and relationship return."

    -Restorative Justice Practice Participant, America P.

  • “I really liked and appreciated Erica. Her passion and knowledge for RJ really shined through. I felt Erica really wanted us to learn about the impacts that gender, race, background can have on a process and how to be aware of these things so our process will have the greatest chance of success. Erica also was able to balance the session with activities that brought our group closer together and encouraged group learning and thinking.”

  • “Erica did an amazing job, especially with Zoom participants! It is a lot to cover, with people from all different experiences and backgrounds, and she did so with a smile, grace and humor. She listened patiently as I explained the challenges I felt as an introvert.”

  • “I loved Erica’s land acknowledgment and it's given me a lot to think about. I also appreciated how the land acknowledgement was tied into RJ, like if we're going to talk about harm, we need to talk about the First Harm, genocide against Native Americans.”
