The Little Book of Circle Processes : A New/Old Approach to Peacemaking (The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series)

Description

Circle processes offer a way of bringing people together to understand one
another, strengthen bonds, and solve community problems—a necessity in an era
of division, polarized politics, and angry debate. Our ancestors gathered
around a fire in a circle, families gather around their kitchen tables in
circles, and now we are gathering in circles as communities to solve problems.
This peacemaking practice draws on the ancient Native American tradition of a
talking piece and combines that with concepts of democracy and inclusivity.
Peacemaking circles are used in neighborhoods to provide support for those
harmed by crime and to decide sentences for those who commit crime, in schools
to create positive classroom climates and resolve behavior problems, in the
workplace to deal with conflict, and in social services to develop more
organic support systems for people struggling to get their lives together. The
circle process hinges on storytelling. It is an effort bringing astonishing
results around the country. Chapters include: Circles in PracticeA Circle
