Mend the World
We are a community of peacemakers and restorative justice practitioners engaging Oklahoma City, the United States and the Planet to seek truth, restorative justice, healing, and the common good.
About Mend
Our Vision: We envision truth-telling, empathy, and restorative justice guiding us to the sacred work of repair and peace; to a world where all flourish.
Our Mission: Our mission is to midwife a return to wholeness. Mend cultivates spaces of healing and transformation through restorative justice, community care, and embodied peacemaking. We face the truth with courage, hold space for lament, and walk with communities toward repair—so that justice is not retributive but restorative, not imposed but co-created.
Who We Are: We are embodied equitists, truth seekers, and justice-driven individuals who are intuitive, curious, and rooted in the body. We are guided by a deep desire for meaning and connection; spiritual yet grounded, daring yet discerning. We are led by compassion, curiosity, and conscience.
What We Do: We curate restorative justice circles, peacemaking cohorts, rest retreats, educational curriculum, workshops, trainings, and experiential educational courses.
Mend Initiatives

Mend Peacemaker Cohort 2025
We believe that speaking truth is where we find peace, internally and soceitally. The 2025 Cohort peacemakers are committed to theory, contemplation, and to action. The peacemaker curriculum is rooted in the wisdom of the Beatitudes.
This immersive journey equips emerging peacemakers with tools for inner renewal and communal repair. Participants explore dimensions of peacemaking through community building, deep dialogue, and embodied practices.

Chrysalis Training and Rest Retreat
We believe that rest is the answer. The rest retreat is a sacred pause—a space for those on the frontlines of restorative justice to rest, reflect, and reimagine. Set within a peaceful, natural environment, this gathering calls together social healing practitioners to rest, dream, and remember. Our body is speaking, and we need to listen. We believe that reconnection with nature is a path toward remembering who we are - the beloved.

Grassroots Restorative Justice
We believe true justice is taking what has been broken and making it whole. Mend is dedicated to cultivating community and fostering social healing through grassroots Restorative Justice Circles. Our gatherings bring together social healing practitioners, community members, and justice advocates to work towards restorative justice that restores collaboratively. We gather to heal harm, repair relationships, and build a compassionate, connected community with neighbor and nature through dialogue, empathy, and accountability.
