Dates: June 2 & 3, 2026 (Tuesday & Wednesday)
Time: 1:30–3:00 PM EST (each day)
Total Hours: 3
This two-part skill lab is designed for practitioners ready to deepen their capacity to respond to harm that is not only interpersonal but also rooted in structural and historical inequities. Together, we will explore how inflamed structural and historical harm shows up in real-time conflicts, and what it demands of us as facilitators. Inflamed structural and historical harm “describes a violation or incident that evokes or alludes to structural or historical violence” (Story, 2023).
Participants will engage in applied learning that moves beyond theory into practice, including:
Identifying when harm is layered within historical and systemic contexts
Navigating power, identity, and accountability within restorative processes
Practicing facilitation strategies that hold both individual and collective harm
This session is best suited for those with prior experience in restorative justice, peacemaking circles, or nonviolent communication who are looking to expand their facilitation practice with greater nuance and responsibility.
