Facilitators

The Ahimsa collective has seven in-prison facilitators at Valley State prison who are equally responsible for the Restorative Approaches to Intimate Violence program at Valley State Prison. They co-lead the curriculum, have an in-depth understanding of restorative justice and trauma healing, foster the agency of each participant, and critically-self reflect on their own process of teaching and learning. In addition to technical facilitation skills, they have the wisdom of personal experience and knowledge about their incarcerated community that makes them excellent facilitators.
