On Today’s Episode, we are talking about the powerful healing practice of restorative justice with David Ryan Casto Harris.

David is the founder of Amplify RJ, a platform dedicated to teaching Restorative Justice philosophy, practices, and values. Amplify RJ runs workshops/trainings to help people embody Racial and Restorative Justice practices in their professional and personal lives. 

Mentioned in this episode:

Howard Zehr, the recognized founder of Restorative Justice.

The family group conference (FGC) started in New Zealand in 1989 as a response to native Maori people’s concerns with the number of their children being removed from their homes by the courts. It was originally envisioned as a family empowerment process, and later as restorative justice.  

Some other names for restorative justice: restorative practices, transformative justice, healing justice, procedural justice, and/or organizational justice.

My Favorite Quote from the Show: "If we are working toward this way of being interconnected - acknowledging our interconnectedness – and treating each other accordingly, what is beneficial to you is beneficial to me. What is harming you is harming me. I think we are all moving in the same direction."
