REC > Developing the Restorative System
http://j.mp/Y90H5Y

In our community of people who meet regularly in Empathy Circles, we find that we can often address conflict as part of the flow of our Circle. For those times when conflict is more painful, we have begun and are continuing to develop a Restorative Empathy Circle (REC) process as an option to address these conflicts. This REC process flows naturally from our ongoing Empathy Circle process, and adds another dimension. As we use and develop our own REC system we also want to share what we’re learning with others. In this space we’re documenting our experiences and discussions about this.
