You've been doing the work, showing up for your community, navigating harm, holding conflict with care…and somewhere along the way, you found Transformative Justice. Maybe through a book, a training, a conversation that cracked something open. But now you realize that theory can only take you so far.

This 3-month summer cohort is a space to connect with lineage, go deeper with practitioners who have been doing Transformative Justice (TJ) work in community for decades– with case studies drawn from real world situations, and with a small group of peers who are on the same journey.

Through live webinars, interactive scenario work, a daylong retreat, and a private community forum, you'll build the skills, the frameworks, and the accountability relationships to bring TJ out of the abstract and into your actual practice.

This is for organizers, mediators, conflict workers, anti-violence advocates, and community builders who are ready to move from theory to practice.

Registration deadline: May 26th | Course kick-off: May 29th

What's Included?

• Registration for four (4) live webinars 
• Access to five (5) interactive case studies including private spaces alongside the Liberatory Conflict Mediation cohort members to talk about how to apply TJ principles and practices directly in these realistic scenarios that we have held as community accountability practitioners, mediators, and TJ organizers
• Registration for one (1) daylong Transformative Justice retreat where we will really dig into lineage, practice, boundaries and go deep into a specific case study with peer practitioners
• Participation in two (2) live cohort sessions with a small community of practitioners going on this journey together
• Access to two (2) pre-recorded webinars on Community Accountability + Everyday TJ
• Access to a private community forum page to connect, problem solve, resource share, discussion, and building pods and relationships with people who are doing TJ work around the world
  

This is for you if:

• You have been practicing TJ and want to connect directly with lineages of practitioners
• You have been doing conflict work and want to integrate TJ values and tools 
• You have been reading the theory or connecting with learnings of TJ online and want to connect with peers talking about scenarios and mentors who have been practicing in community for decades
• You are an academic or consultant curious to find ways to be inspired by TJ frameworks and explore more of what it means that TJ is not something that can be done in a workplace.
• You are looking for a space that allows you to bring TJ out of theory into practice and be in an accountability relationship with peer practitioners + lineages around what should and shouldn’t be called TJ within the work that you’re doing
• You are someone doing community building and/or conflict + care roles within member-based organizations
• You are an organizer responsible for scaffolding member experience of growing organizations with volunteer membership that are navigating conflict, harm, and dual relationships in community and are looking for ways to bring TJ into that practice in a way that feels rightsized 
• You work in anti- violence/sexual violence/domestic violence work and have been hearing more about restorative justice, transformative justice and non-punitive frameworks in response to violence that sound cool in the abstract but you are curious about what it looks like in practice in a way that’s survivor-centered and grounded in consent
• You have been hearing people advocate for transformative justice or non-punitive response to harm but it sounds scary and you wanna know about real world situations and case studies to build your confidence in talking about it with people in your community or recipients  of your services or programs
