new podcast about reconciliation
I am working with a team on a podcast about reconciliation and alternative forms of justice (like restorative and transformative justice). Living in a culture that defaults to punishment and vengeance, we want to highlight stories of coming back together after harm. Given that harm is inevitable, we hope to promote the possibility of healing instead of further harm as a reaction. We are seeking stories of reconciliation after any kind of harm, whether the harm was physical or emotional. Whether the people involved were family or strangers to each other, the part that is important to us is the reconciliation. Reconciliation does not necessarily mean returning to the same relationship that existed before - as often that is not safe or even possible. Reconciliation is any kind of coming together, either for a mediated process or an informal conversation where the harm is addressed, where there is accountability and hopefully reparation.
