restorative narratives
Explore forgiveness through real-life stories
We believe stories can transform how we see ourselves and relate to others. That’s why we share restorative narratives—real-life stories of people and communities learning to rebuild after difficult times.
Debbie McLeland
"I wanted to go to court for justice – not revenge."
Rebecca DeMauro
"I knew that if something didn’t change I would be in the graveyard, dead from a broken heart, next to my little daughter."
Agnes Kaposi
"I believe that forgiveness holds the key to release. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. It is dedicated hard work, a tortuous journey towards the distant goal of peace."
