“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” — Dalai Lama

In Part One, you are invited to “participate” in an experiential activity to better understand the impact of harmful actions. In Part Two, you will “participate” in an experiential activity to learn how “Restorative Circles” are being used in various settings to bring about healing.

These sessions will be facilitated by Sister Sue Reif, a Rochester Franciscan who has been involved in the field of Restorative Justice for over 20 years. Sue worked as the Coordinator for Prison and Re-entry Ministry for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, the Director of Restorative Justice for the Diocese of San Bernardino, and helped to start a nonprofit agency in the Los Angeles area for those affected by homicide. She serves on the Restorative Justice Committee of the California Catholic Conference of Bishops (CCC). At the present time, Sue is the Volunteer Coordinator at Assisi Heights.
