Coaching and Skill Building; Restorative Practices in Action

In these highly experiential coaching sessions, Staff from public & public charter schools in Washington DC (including teachers, behavior technicians, deans, psychologists and counselors) are invited to bring your unique challenges and questions and get on-the-spot coaching and group-peer support.

These sessions may take us on pedagogical, behavioral, ethical, personal and cultural reflections and insights on how restorative practices can support individuals and our sense of community. You will leave with both new or reinforced skills integrating the restorative approach and hands-on practical strategies for your unique situation. We will invite the wisdom in our circle and peer-to-peer support.

Any questions and situations are welcomed:
I want to run more circles but I am having anxiety in this re-entry moment
My students are not engaging, not participating and I don’t know what else to do ...
There are specific behaviors I just can’t see with a restorative lens ....
What can I do next if a student repeats the behavior after a restorative circle?

"BEING (towards DOING) Restorative": A self-awareness and resourcing practice for the RJ practitioner
TBA

You've learned and implemented restorative practices and tools, maybe for years even.

You probably have felt the magic of repairs and reconnections already (yeah!) or the strengthening of relationships and community culture of belonging and mattering.

And ... – like most humans - you most likely sometimes hit a situation or people where your mind goes into “this situation/people … is … too … (fill in the blank). Maybe it’s with a colleague-teacher or a staff you are leading, or an admin above you, maybe it’s with a student or group of students… maybe it’s with a part of yourself that’s hard to connect with later on?

In this presentation, we’ll walk an internal journey to explore what’s happening to us first, how our own internal patterns may show up (hint: of course they would!) and how to balance both our mattering and our belonging.

This will be a recorded presentation that hopefully invites you in an experiential self-practice that you can keep revisiting again.

The Resonance Summit

Join this FREE Summit for an exploration of the transformative power of relationship and resonance, with many rich, profound and joyous contributions from some of the most influential voices and researchers in the field of relational neuroscience.

Join my session:

RECLAIMING "NO": Healing Consent and Dissent with Our Younger Selves

For many of us, whether while growing up or in adult relationships, we experienced our “NO” as not welcomed, tolerated or even safe to express.

Some of us rebelled at this overpowering silencing of our truth and intensified our voice or actions to express it.

But for many of us, we learned to shut down, silence, morph or adapt our expression into one that could fit in with, appease and/or please our caregivers so that we could belong … no matter the cost to ourselves. This session will be catered towards this latter scenario.

Through a polyvagal lens and with resonant language, we will explore our unique story with "NO” and accompany ourselves back towards an expression that accounts for more truth in us and honors the power to consent or dissent.

The Resonance Summit

We live in a world filled with pain and its consequences, but also filled with the potential for emotional healing and emergence – an emergence into synchronicity, deep community, and wellsprings of delight – this part of our world is often hidden behind the cobwebs of trauma. Our healing and emergence are brought about by the movement into relationship and resonance – the experience of being truly understood by another.
