DRJ Community Circle In-Person

JULY 9: Grief; how does our culture make space or not for grief? How do we process grief in community?

AUG 13: Affordability; in what ways is our community affordable, or not? Are there solutions for the year round community?

SEPT 10: Communication & Conflict; how do we communicate when in conflict and what are ways we can better communicate when in conflict in community?

Community Circles are a space to come together, share and listen to each other around a variety of difficult and sensitive topics so that we may build healthy relationships, understand and support each other while acknowledging differing experiences. Facilitated  by Downeast Restorative Justice, each meeting will focus on a different discussion topic guided by the interests of participants and recent events. We'll meet monthly, and intermittent or occasional participation is welcome.

At the opening of each circle, DRJ’s Restorative Practitioner Kayla Gagnon will introduce Restorative principles & practices to facilitate the circle conversation. There is no expectation to share; showing up to listen is just as valuable. DRJ also offers monthly online Circles of Care for Service Providers and Survivors of Violence. Please visit their website, downeastrestorativejustice.org for more information.
