Continuing Revolution 2024: Restorative Justice as Spiritual Practice

This workshop begins with a registration window from 4:30pm-6:00pm on the opening day and ends with lunch from 12pm-1pm on the closing day.

Continuing Revolution is expanding! This conference has historically been Pendle Hill’s annual gathering for young adults (18-35) interested in exploring the connections between their spiritual, political, and interpersonal lives.

This year, the conference will be hosted online and at three separate locations – at Pendle Hill outside of Philadelphia, at Beacon Hill Friends House in Boston, and at  Friends Place on Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC.

 

This year’s programming is centered around the concept of restorative justice (RJ), which is an approach to justice that seeks to both repair harm and address the root causes of the actions perpetrating harm. Our working definition of RJ is an alternative to a punitive system that removes members from the community. RJ provides an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about and address their needs in a way that opposes isolation and incarceration and centers restoration and respect for the wholeness of the community.

Participants will gain foundational knowledge about historical and contemporary RJ practices, learning from groups currently organizing for systemic change around RJ in national, local, and interpersonal communities. Through collaborative workshops and spiritual grounding exercises, participants will leave the conference with tools and strategies for practicing RJ in their own communities in ways that reflect their values and hopes for building abolitionist futures.

Participants at all locations will come together to collaborate in hybrid workshops broadcast from each of the three sites throughout the conference. Each day, there will be site-specific sessions and exercises for both in-person and online participants. More details about the workshops and schedule coming soon!
