RJOY offers speaking, training, workshops and technical assistance to communities, schools, and justice groups in California and throughout the nation.

The Restorative Art & Healing Circle, meeting every Thursday 5-7pm, is an intergenerational space for creativity, connection and care, incorporating poetry, music, theater, storytelling, collage, dance, painting, cooking, beadwork, drumming, sculpture, mixed-media, singing, and culinary arts.

The Safe Space Studios Restorative Sound and Healing Circle, held every Thursday 6-8pm, is a healing circle designed for artists to receive guidance from professionals within the music industry and to create a safe space, time, and opportunities to perform at live showcases.

The Music and Healing Cohort offers an opportunity for artists to dive into an individual and collective healing journey, supporting each other in turning healing stories into the music they love to write and perform. Participants record and mix their original songs and storytelling, guided by a restorative justice curriculum.

The RJOY Ubusha youth program fosters restorative practices through engaging activities like community building, hands-on farm work, and rejuvenating retreats at our Ubuntu Farm and Healing Center. Participants learn the art of healing connections, sustainable agriculture, and self-discovery in a supportive environment that empowers them to contribute positively to their communities.

The Restorative Justice in Schools Learning Community is designed to create a state-wide network for restorative justice practitioners, educators, and administrators. Our role in this initiative is to provide resources for developing restorative programs in schools districts across California. We are responsible for holding monthly webinars for restorative training, creating a network forum for dialogue, and providing a database with real evidence of the work being done to fight institutions that perpetuate punitive systems of oppression to black and brown children.
