Restorative Justice aims to repair harm and resolve conflict - so what role does forgiveness play? Join restorative justice practitioners at the Hartford Community Restorative Justice Center for a collective conversation about forgiveness. We'll delve into what we mean when we say "forgiveness", the relationship between forgiveness and closure, the relationship between forgiveness and obligation, and the role forgiveness plays in a restorative practice. There will be a short grounding in the philosophy of restorative justice followed by a facilitated community conversation. We invite folks to come prepared to reflect on their own experiences with forgiveness.
