Session Four of Connecting for the Common Good
In this penultimate session of Connecting for the Common Good: A Masterclass with Peter Block and Friends, we explore a powerful truth: We already know what works — we just need to decide that it matters.
Restorative practices are not a dream of the future; they are alive and active in our communities today. From education and faith communities to housing, public safety, economic development, and even journalism, there are people and places already modeling the world we long for. The challenge is not invention — it’s attention.
This session invites us to make visible what’s already working and ask: How do we move these practices from the margins to the mainstream? How can we support, aggregate, and sustain efforts that restore humanity to a commodifying world?
We will highlight real-life examples of restorative leadership and community innovation across multiple sectors, showing what becomes possible when we prioritize relationships over transactions, accountability over punishment, and collective good over individual gain.
Come ready to witness how the future is already unfolding — and what it takes to make it present for all of us.
