[Forwarded message. I strongly believe Restorative Circles has the greatest potential for true justice and in the peace process. - karen medina ]<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">The Restorative Circles group has scheduled the first two Resorative Circles facilitation practice groups of 2012.  <b>The practice sessions will be in the auditorium of the Urbana library (in basement) on Sundays, Jan 22 and Feb. 19 from 2 - 4pm</b>.  There has been a larger turnout lately.  We spend almost the entire time on practice rather than on talking about the process.  That said, we welcome newcomers, even those without previous experience with RC, so please feel free to share this invitation with anyone you think would enjoy attending.<br>



<br>Apart from the practice groups, Elaine and I are also happy to work with local groups and organizations interested in setting up RC systems for themselves.<br><br>Finally, If you haven't yet had a chance to listen to it, here again is the interview with Dominic that aired on WILL-radio the day before the public learning event: <a href="http://will.illinois.edu/focus/interview/focus101011b1/" target="_blank">http://will.illinois.edu/focus/interview/focus101011b1/</a><br>
