  • Honoring Ted Lewis - Listening to the Restorative Justice Movement
    Nov 2 2024

    Send us a text

    This episode pays tribute to the late Ted Lewis, a remarkable figure in restorative justice, whose life and work provide profound insights into this balance.

    We explore how his bicultural upbringing and Mennonite roots led him into mediation and facilitation. We also reflect on Ted's legacy, balancing systemic change while addressing relational harm on the micro-level. We also explore the "Listening to the Movement" project as Ted brought together many of the RJ thought leaders to examine how RJ has evolved from a programmatic approach to a broader social paradigm.

    Support for Ted's family through their GoFundMe to continue honor his impact and legacy.

Absolutely Amazing Podcast

I recently stumbled across this, looking for something pertaining to restorative justice. I had been briefly exposed to the concept many years ago, and it really resonated with me. I have been so impressed with these interviews! I have only listened to about 10 so far, but have already learned a lot and feel really hopeful in hearing about all the different ways people have been incorporating these values into their lives and their work! I love the format used and think this was an amazing idea and beautifully done!! thank you
