Volume III Conflicts and Conflict Management in Intentional Communities
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Volume III Conflicts and Conflict Management in Intentional Communities

Abstract

The practice of Restorative Circles, a community-based way of engaging with conflict, was originally developed in Brazil, and has now spread around the world. The concept of Restorative Circles has been implemented in the U.S. in ways that do not always reflect its key principles, such as designing its systemic aspects endogenously by the community U.S. intentional communities are among the groups experimenting with Restorative Circles. This chapter explores our attempts to design restorative systems in several such communities without close adherence to the principle of producing the system and its practices endogenously. We examine how these attempts to apply a structure largely imported from outside the community led to the initial success but the eventual collapse of the system. We also review our later efforts to work with intentional communities that strive to adhere more closely to this principle of endogenous community-sourced restorative system design.
