Building the Infrastructure for Repair & Healing

Explore Our Framework

Our living framework for repair integrates insights from across disciplines.

  • Restorative Practice – balancing care and accountability

  • Systems Thinking – revealing the structures beneath behavior

  • Adult Learning – turning insight into durable skill

  • Relational Infrastructure – embedding trust in how we meet, decide, and lead

How We Help

Workshops

Immersive learning experiences that teach the language, structure, and practice of repair. Each workshop builds shared understanding, measurable trust, and lasting accountability.

  • A two-day immersive training that teaches the art and practice of repair—how to identify rupture, rebuild trust, and make accountability part of everyday operations.

  • An advanced, two-day workshop for executives and boards ready to model repair in motion—translating power, feedback, and transparency into credible, healing-centered leadership.

Healing Labs

Short, guided sessions for people and teams working with—or within—communities impacted by harm. Each Lab blends story, reflection, and structure to strengthen protective and healing patterns in real time.

  • Learn how positive experiences build resilience in communities impacted by harm. A guided introduction to the HOPE framework (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experience) for practitioners working on the front lines of healing.

  • An experiential lab that helps organizations understand and apply restorative approaches to everyday relationships—balancing care and accountability through structure and shared language.

Partnership

Longer-term collaborations for organizations ready to embed repair into culture. From yearlong cohorts to custom audits and credits, these partnerships turn principles into systems that sustain trust and healing across time.

  • A year-long cohort that helps organizations and funders embed repair and reflection into daily culture—turning trust and accountability into ongoing practice.

  • A structured process to identify where trust has frayed, co-design solutions, and invest in tailored repair projects that strengthen systems and relationships.

  • Sponsor-supported resources that make repair public—offering frameworks, guides, and scripts that help educators, nonprofits, and communities practice repair in daily life.

The Language of Repair

Change begins when we name what is happening.

Disconnection
When people or systems drift apart—emotionally, operationally, or in purpose.

Rupture
When trust or communication breaks down.

Harm
When words, actions, or systems cause pain or exclusion.

Truth-Telling
Naming what happened and how it affected people.

Repair
Fixing what broke so work and trust can move forward.

Healing
Restoring connection so people can keep working together.

  • Stop avoiding hard conversations - and start designing for them.

  • Conflict isn’t the opposite of connection—it’s the first step.

  • Trust isn’t maintained by intention—it’s maintained by infrastructure.

  • Repair is how we stay in relationship with what we value.
