Workshop on Better conversations and restorative thinking
Restorative thinking helps us to build and maintain good community relationships.
Examples of restorative thinking (or 'restorative practice') are:
- being able to express and talk about what really matters to us
- listening to someone else to understand what matters to them
-identifying causes of conflict as we talk ('positions': in an argument, what I say matters)
- working together to find out our underlying motivations or values (my, your, our 'interests')
- creating conversations that move us from a place of hurt to healing.
We want to promote opportunities for people to talk about and share ideas for restorative thinking.
This workshop is a chance to get a discussion going. It will be very interactive rather than presentations. Let's get talking. Sessions will cover topics such as building connections, developing our confidence in brave conversations and self-facilitation, the role for faith groups in promoting restorative thinking and practice.
Friday 20 October. 10.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m.
Vegetarian lunch provided.
Brought to you by Onewa Christian Community and ANCAD.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
