Quick Facts About CircleRestora™ Conflict Circles

What CircleRestora™ Conflict Circles Teaches

CircleRestora™ Conflict Circles is an advanced restorative conflict resolution training that prepares participants to design and facilitate structured circles for two to three people experiencing low- to medium-intensity conflict. The training builds on information gathered during pre-circle assessment and helps facilitators determine whether participants are ready to move forward.

Participants learn each step of the conflict circle process, the purpose and significance of every part, and how the steps work together to create a safer and more productive conversation. They examine how thoughtful preparation, conflict analysis, and readiness decisions can reduce the risk of causing further harm.

Through modeled examples, planning practice, and role-play, participants design a conflict circle around the unique needs and circumstances of a case. They also strengthen the facilitation techniques needed to guide reflection, address impact, support mutual understanding, and navigate needs-based solutions.

“This training helped me understand that a conflict circle is not simply bringing people together and asking questions. Every step has a purpose, and the readiness tools gave me a much clearer way to determine whether moving forward would actually be safe and productive.”

“The practice scenarios made the training immediately useful. We worked through a realistic conflict, reviewed what had been uncovered during the pre-assessment, and designed a circle that reflected what each participant actually needed.”
