Throughout this first season of Encounters With Dignity we have heard many stories about how  restorative justice can be used in response to harm or injustice. These examples have taken us through the criminal legal system, the education system, and even Indigenous communities grappling with multi-generational harms.

But restorative justice need not be limited to only those times where a rule or law was broken. Restorative justice can be part of our everyday — a way of being, a way of living. 

In this episode, we hear three wise teachers discuss how we all can live restoratively in every aspect of our lives. 

Dr. Desireé Anderson, Fr. Jeff Putthoff, and Jerry Tello discuss the importance of community building, self-care, and honoring our cultural histories as just a few stepping stones toward living a restorative life.
