Hey everyone! Check out this invitation to the upcoming Let's Circle Up Restorative Justice Workshop. It's co-sponsored by the CPGC and Rethink Incarceration:

Let's Circle Up Restorative Justice Workshop
November 18-19, 10:00am-3:00pm

Restorative justice practitioners Aki Bivens and Michael Riccio '13 will lead Let's Circle Up, an intensive workshop on restorative justice open to all. This participatory workshop was developed by men incarcerated at Graterford Prison, and explores the philosophy of restorative justice (or RJ), which seeks to address harm by acknowledging dignity, individuality and interconnectedness. Let’s Circle Up has engaged hundreds of people, but this is only the third time the workshop has been offered outside of Graterford. The four themes addressed in workshop sessions are: rethinking justice, exploring harm, developing restorative approaches, and applying RJ values to our lives.

Details: The workshop will take place Saturday, November 18 and Sunday, November 19 from 10am-3pm in the Multicultural Center (Stokes 106). There will be lunch breaks both days, with meal tickets provided for those not on the meal plan. **You must be able to attend the full time on both days to participate.**

The program is free, and no application is required. Those wishing to participate must register here. Registration will be limited to 20 participants.

Questions about the workshop or about Let's Circle Up? Contact Mike at [email protected] or Janice Lion ([email protected]; 610-896-1308).

Sponsored by the Haverford College Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) and Rethink Incarceration.

~Breathing Rage: A Workshop for Sister Warriors~
In this workshop Sista Docta Alexis Pauline Gumbs will draw on her work as the first researcher to explore the archival papers of Audre Lorde and June Jordan and the technology she calls "Black Feminist Breathing" to create a space where we can process our rage and place it in a revolutionary context. We will use breathing, poetry, movement and group activities to explore the transformative love at the root of our deepest rage. This workshop is designed to be accessible to people with a range of disabilities.
