title: Truth and Reconciliation Circle
description: >-
A structured circle process for communities addressing historical or
ongoing harm, drawing on the truth commission model and restorative
circle practice. Participants share experiences of harm, listen to
each other, and work toward acknowledgement and repair. Used in
post-conflict settings and in communities addressing systemic injustice.

steps:
- headline: Establish safety and ground rules
description: >-
A facilitator establishes the circle's ground rules: confidentiality,
respectful listening, no interruption, and the right to pass. The
space must feel safe enough for honest sharing.
- headline: Share truths in rounds
description: >-
A talking piece is passed. Each person shares their experience of
harm — what happened, how it affected them, what they witnessed.
Both those harmed and those complicit may speak.
- headline: Listen without defending
description: >-
When others speak, participants listen without interrupting,
rebutting, or defending. The circle holds multiple truths at once.
- headline: Acknowledge what has been heard
description: >-
After the rounds, the facilitator summarises what has been shared
and asks if anything was missed or misunderstood. Speakers confirm
they have been accurately heard.
- headline: Explore repair
description: >-
The circle explores what repair might look like — not necessarily
agreement, but acknowledgement of harm and concrete steps toward
a different future.
- headline: Close with commitment
description: >-
The circle closes with each person naming one step they will take,
however small, toward repair or changed relationship.
outcome: >-
Harm has been named and witnessed, and the community has taken
concrete steps toward acknowledgement and repair.
practice: >-
Truth-telling without a path to repair can re-traumatise. Do not
attempt this without trained facilitators and ongoing support. The
circle is one step in a longer process, not a resolution.
