The community is invited to participate in one of our facilitated community circle discussions on belonging. Join us at 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m., or 4:30 p.m. for a restorative circle discussion that will be run on restorative principles. Participants will have the opportunity to review circle agreements and the discussion will be conducted using a talking piece to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to speak and to listen on the important subject of belonging, and what is needed for folks to feel they belong here in Bend. This is an opportunity for us to come together, celebrate diversity, and build meaningful connections. We will delve into belonging in an atmosphere of openness, respect, and empathy to ensure that every voice is heard and valued. As we all have something to offer the collective, we can create an event that celebrates compassion and unity. Food and beverage will be provided. Circles will be capped at 30 people per event. Please register to attend the event at: https://forms.gle/U65tUfJeNUAXxXzw5. We hope to see you there!

La comunidad está invitada a participar en uno de nuestros círculos de debate sobre la pertenencia. Participe con nosotros a la 1:30 p. m., 3:00 p. m. o 4:30 p. m. para un debate en círculo restaurativo que se desarrollará según los principios restaurativos.
