Restorative Justice Practices: Circle Keeping for Community Healing

In a world fractured by systemic violence, Ruth Jeannoel offers a revolutionary pathway to healing through circle keeping—not just as a technique, but as a spiritual practice that transforms both communities and practitioners.
Drawing from her extensive experience, Jeannoel reveals how these ancestral practices interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline while revolutionizing schools, workplaces, and accountability systems. Through compelling case studies and personal reflection, she demonstrates how circle keeping fundamentally alters our understanding of justice and community.
What distinguishes this work is Jeannoel’s authentic exploration of her own transformation journey. Her voice—compassionate yet unflinching—bridges theory and lived experience, offering educators, community leaders, and justice advocates both practical tools and profound philosophical shifts.
