2025 Equity for All Recap

Thank you for joining us!

2025 Panel

On Thursday, April 17th, we hosted Equity for All at Hamilton Studio, where we were joined by an incredible panel who shared their work in Restorative Practice in Communities. Over 110 people attended in person, contributing to a vibrant and engaged atmosphere.

The event kicked off with a lively performance, featuring dancers, spoken word poetry, and a moving song. During the panel discussion, our speakers shared their experiences and insights on building restorative practices within communities. They explained what restorative practices are, how and why they're implemented, and their impact on our daily lives. Following the panel, attendees had the opportunity to experience a Circle Process firsthand, creating connections with one another. We wrapped up the program by inviting the audience to share their thoughts via text, with responses displayed on the projector.

If you attended, we would love to hear your feedback! Please take a moment to fill out the survey below.
