Conversations and storytelling with Restorative Justice Practitioners, Circle Keepers, and others about how they bring Restorative Justice philosophy, practices, and values into their personal and professional lives. Hosted by Amplify RJ founder David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris (all five names for the ancestors).
The This Restorative Justice Life podcast is a truly transformative and eye-opening exploration of restorative practices in our lives. Hosted by David, this podcast brings together a variety of practitioners who share their stories and experiences, making abstract concepts tangible and relatable. As a listener, I have found myself continuously questioning and growing with each episode, making it a life-changing podcast that I highly recommend.
One of the best aspects of The This Restorative Justice Life podcast is the in-depth conversations it offers with a diverse range of people involved in restorative justice practices. Each episode provides a unique perspective and insight into this approach to justice, which focuses on healing and repairing rather than punishing or breaking. Even as someone who is not directly involved in this field, I have gained immense value and knowledge from listening to the guests and their experiences.
Furthermore, the podcast does an excellent job of highlighting the need for restorative justice in our society. With each episode, it becomes increasingly clear how important it is to shift our focus from punitive measures to more compassionate and reparative methods. The This Restorative Justice Life podcast serves as a platform for spreading awareness and understanding about this crucial topic.
While there are many positives to this podcast, one potential downside is that it can leave listeners with more questions than answers at times. The episodes delve into complex topics and ideas related to restorative practices, which can be overwhelming for those seeking straightforward solutions or explanations. However, this aspect also serves as an opportunity for personal growth and reflection as listeners navigate their own understanding of restorative justice.
In conclusion, The This Restorative Justice Life podcast is an exceptional resource worth subscribing to and sharing with friends. It offers thought-provoking discussions that explore the various ways restorative practices can take root in our lives. By providing concrete examples and engaging with practitioners who have dedicated themselves to this movement, the podcast creates a space for transformational learning and understanding. To fully grasp the concept of restorative justice, I recommend starting with the episode featuring Cheryl Graves, as it provides an excellent introduction to this transformative approach.

In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance.

Contact, Learn More, Support Mia!Website: https://www.soiltjp.org/Blog: https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/ How can we navigate the complexities of Transformative Justice (TJ) while addressing the intersectionality of our identities? Join us for a powerful conversation with our guest, Mia, a queer disabled woman of color, a Korean adoptee, and a TJ and Disability Justice practitioner. In this episode, we dive into Mia's work, her passion for composting and vermicomposting as a way to care for the planet, and how she uses humor to bridge communities.Together, we explore the concept of pods, the people you would call upon if you were experiencing harm or violence, and the power of small actions, like asking for feedback, to create a culture of accountability. We also discuss the challenges of practicing TJ in conditions of trauma, violence, and toxicity, as well as the importance of building relationships and creating a healing culture in our own formations.With Mia's guidance, we examine the bravery and courage it takes to invite someone into a relationship and the potential benefits and risks of having those close to you as your pod people. We also emphasize the importance of inviting others to learn and practice TJ skills together, and not to conflate feeling unsafe with feeling uncomfortable. Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation as we tackle the practicalities of Transformative Justice and accountability in our lives.Support the showSend us feedback at media@amplifyrj.comJoin our Amplify RJ Community platform to connect with others doing this work!Check out our latest learning opportunities HERERep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast, leaving a rating or review, or make a tax-deductible DONATION to help us sustain and grow this movement
Joe has been the victim of two separate violent anti-gay hate crimes and what began as a personal healing response to the trauma, he has transformed into professional involvement in the field of community and restorative justice. Since 2010, Joe has actively helped schools implement peer mediation programs and school-wide restorative practices. As a private consultant beginning in 2015, Joe has designed a trauma-informed approach of restorative practices and infused this model in schools.What if we told you that implementing trauma-informed and restorative justice practices in schools could transform the lives of students, educators, and entire communities? Join us in this eye-opening episode as we uncover the cultural and systemic implications of these critical practices. We discuss the diffusion model of innovators, early adapters, early majority, late majority, and laggards, and explore how restorative justice can thrive in the context of applied educational neuroscience.Together, we tackle the challenges of prioritizing education and supporting educators in a world where children are often not the focus of legislation and policy. We reveal the progress of trauma-informed and restorative justice programs in teacher preparation programs and share insights on the potential for positive change when educators lead the way. Hear a powerful personal story of survival and perseverance, and learn the invaluable lesson of grace and humanizing others in the context of restorative justice and trauma-informed practices. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that will leave you inspired to make a lasting impact on the lives of your students and beyond.Support Joe Brummer:WebsiteSocialGet your copy of Building Trauma Informed Restorative SchoolsSupport the showSend us feedback at media@amplifyrj.comJoin our Amplify RJ Community platform to connect with others doing this work!Check out our latest learning opportunities HERERep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast, leaving a rating or review, or make a tax-deductible DONATION to help us sustain and grow this movement

Rami, a Lebanese gay man who experienced a society that criminalizes homosexuality, shares his inspiring journey to the United States and how he developed a restorative mindset to address the harms within his community.Rami's passion for conflict resolution led him to create the Restorative Rainbow Alliance, which focuses on providing safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and representation for their needs. Together, we explored the importance of having an LGBTQ+ lens when approaching restorative justice work and how the Alliance is developing a facilitators code of conduct, a best practices document, and a training curriculum tailored for the LGBTQ+ community. Finally, we delved into the significance of self-reflection and accountability in fostering a more equitable world for all. Rami offered insights on the need for restorative justice approaches in Lebanon and the importance of pre-conferencing. Join us as we uncover how the Restorative Rainbow Alliance is making a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and how you can support their work in creating a more inclusive society.Contact, Learn More, & Support Rami:WebsiteEmailSocialJoin Rami and the National Association for Community and Restorative Justice for a Talking Circle to Celebrate PrideSupport the showSend us feedback at media@amplifyrj.comJoin our Amplify RJ Community platform to connect with others doing this work!Check out our latest learning opportunities HERERep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast, leaving a rating or review, or make a tax-deductible DONATION to help us sustain and grow this movement
