Additionally, we empower institutions with the educational and restorative tools necessary to confront harmful practices inherent in systems such as healthcare, education, and the legal system.
Our values of healing, accountability, empathy, collaboration, and inclusivity guide our restorative practices, drawing on ancestral wisdom from indigenous communities worldwide. Our commitment to acquiring traditional knowledge to navigate the evolving punitive world is a mandate we are steadfastly dedicated to fulfilling.
