Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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. The practice draws on the ancient Native American tradition of a talking piece.

Peacemaking Circles are used in neighbourhoods 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 behaviour 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.

Little Book of Circle Processes is a title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.
