About the guide

About the guide

In our experience as trainers, we have noticed that there is little written material about the individual conversations that come before circle practice.

That is why we offer this guide to colleagues around the world who work with restorative practices and Peacemaking Circles, to support their practice. It is available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, free to download and free to use. May it circulate and be useful on your path.
