What Our Participants Say...

When I saw the Restorative ME course I jumped at the chance to do it. I am so lucky to work in a school environment with a restorative culture throughout. We use circles in our classes and conferences to repair harm when the need arises. We have noticed that the more circles the children are part of the less need we have for conferences. I wasn't sure if this course was for people beginning their restorative journey or people who are restorative practitioners for some time. This course is pitched perfectly! It gives beginners an amazing introduction to their restorative journey and for people like me, it is giving me a great chance to reflect on my current practice. We all get a bit comfortable in ourselves and need to revisit ideas and models. I am really valuing this time to sit and do that. It is also helping me be a better parent and wife, especially at this time where we are all together all the time. I constantly as myself "who do I want to be in this situation?" The layout of this course is in perfect bite sized lessons that are easy to process and reflect on before continuing on to the next lesson. I love the activities and quizzes and I could listen to Michelle's voice all day long.
