Description :
The dominant justice systems of the Western world have traditionally focused on crime, punishment and the enforcement of laws. But what if justice could do more? Could it also contribute to healing, restoration, reconciliation, environmental stewardship and the creation of a more flourishing society? This six-session course explores alternative and emerging approaches to justice that seek not only to address harm, but also to cultivate stronger communities, healthier relationships and a more sustainable world. Drawing on Indigenous wisdom, restorative practices and contemporary social movements, participants will examine how justice can support personal transformation, collective healing and ecological well-being. Instructor: Harold Rosen is a community interfaith educator with Master's degrees in philosophy, education & religion; has taught over 200 community courses during the last 25 years; and is the author of "Founders of Faith" and "Eye to the Ages".
