Mend the World

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.

The MTW podcast will launch in the spring of 2026 and will hold conversations for a just and flourishing World. We will first face the truth of our world's pain and injustice with courage, holding space for lament, and listening deeply to those social repair practitioners who are advocating for the vulnerable, making things right, and healing the world. Together, we imagine a world where people and all Earth's inhabitants and ecosystems flourish, and where all are valued and treated with dignity and respect.

We believe that a sacred pause, a space for those on the frontlines of social repair to rest, reflect, and reimagine, is crucial for longevity in the work of social repair. Our gatherings and trips call together social healing practitioners to rest, reflect, dream, and remember. We have taken trips to Alabama for a Civil Rights Pilgrimage, Northern Ireland for a look at their Peace process, and to places in nature for rest, reconnection, remembrance, and rebalance.
