Restoring the way we are in relationship; community building, repair, healing, growth, and development.
A Holistic Approach to Interpersonal Development for Groups
Our ReSET Community Restoration Program assists groups, organization, and communities with navigating communication and other interpersonal challenges. We support diverse people who also may have neurodivergence, endured traumatic adversity, or live within underserved, disadvantaged communities that are often disproportionately BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).
We hold dedicated safe space and a long-term, restorative focus grounded in ancient, Ancestral-Indigenous, and Eastern wisdoms with community healing/building/restoration practices for personal-collective wellbeing. These principles and modalities cultivate altruistic, reciprocal relationship with accountability for repairing harm, and strengthening community. Our structured, holistic process bridges across diverse cultures to assist with deepening listening, awareness, and communication (i.e., intention, words, body language, intuition +) for achieving balance through mindful, heart-centered dialogue.
Key Features and Methods
Individuals volunteer to participate and willingly engage in these sessions to
- Increase awareness of how early childhood, teen, and adult 1:1 relationships and community experiences affect current personal and group communication/interactions
- address unhealed trauma that may have occured within the context of previous 1:1 and group interactions or relationships
- explore, strengthen, and gain new 1:1/group communication practices and emotional regulation techniques
- optimize safety and mutual trust.
Focused on healing relationships, the goal is to repair the social fabric recognizing that a personal or group challenges affects both personal and community wellbeing.
A Collaborative, Equitable, Transparent Communication and Restoration Process
Our community restoration practices include:
A pre-meeting agreement comprised of specific, expressed needs to be honored for safety, reducing harm, and cultivating supportive, mindful dialogue towards community building and repair.
Embodied listening and mindful/heart-centered discussion of issues and points of view without interruption in safe, co-create neutral environment. Engaging in holistic communication practices (i.e., talking circles) allow for respectful, turn-based communication where participants share their experiences in a dedicated supportive, space to reach understanding.
Ancient, Ancestral-Indigenous or Eastern spiritual practices and journeywork with heart-centered communion/guidance(i.e., divination, channeling, intuition) to support more grounding and centeredness with expanded awareness for clarity and healing in the restoration process. Bringing Light into this plane to see beyond our personal socialization: senses, perception, cognitive processing, worldview, identity, sense of self).
Outcomes and Implementation
We facilitate the co-creation of reciprocal agreements with community ceremony, ritual, or other practices as preventive and cultivation measures to strengthen and provide ongoing relationship building/healing prior to the occurance of grevience or conflict.
Our program also provides support with post-program implementation. We assist in establishing frameworks that cultivate connection and safety with respectful, altruistic openess and mindful transparency towards deepening mutual trust. Consensus, internally-selected community members or elders (i.e., council) apply their wisdom to respectfully, uphold and promote growth/development of altruistic, relationship-based community. Disagreements and potential grievances are ideally addressed prior to conflict escalation with restoration discussions guided toward resolution and balance for everyone.
