DRJ Community Circle

DRJ Community Circle

APR 9: Artificial Intelligence; where do we see AI in life and community, and how do we feel about it?
MAY 14: Accessibility; how is our community accessible, and to who? How is it not, and how can we change that?
JUN 11: Affordability; in what ways is our community affordable, or not? Are there solutions for the year round community?

Community Circles are a space to come together, share and listen to each other around a variety of difficult and sensitive topics so that we may build healthy relationships, understand and support each other while acknowledging differing experiences. Facilitated  by Downeast Restorative Justice, each meeting will focus on a different discussion topic guided by the interests of participants and recent events. We'll meet monthly, and intermittent or occasional participation is welcome.

At the opening of each circle, DRJ’s Restorative Practitioner Kayla Gagnon will introduce Restorative principles & practices to facilitate the circle conversation. There is no expectation to share; showing up to listen is just as valuable. DRJ also offers monthly online Circles of Care for Service Providers and Survivors of Violence. Please visit their website, downeastrestorativejustice.org for more information.
