Bio
Retired District Judge, Taos, NM – Former Public Defender, Taos, NM
After years of involvement with criminal and juvenile justice, and seeing the application of Circle process to other contexts, I have been passionate about Circles and restorative practices. I have received training through conferences (IIRP, Colorado consortium), on the ground experience in Circles, three-day Circle process training by Kay Pranis, and as assistant trainer/facilitator with Thom Allena, a nationally known restorative justice practitioner and author.
