The Mariposa Museum & World Culture Center will host an event for Leaf Seligman’s new book, “Being Restorative,” on Saturday, May 4, at 3 p.m. Seligman, a restorative justice practitioner, will lead a free circle conversation and sign copies of her book. 

“Being Restorative” is a collection of testimonies and queries that invites readers to identify ways in which they can expand the practice of being restorative. With its roots in Indigenous cultures throughout the word, Seligman presents her thinking as a restorative practitioner that is insightful for the mind and soul.

Seligman, from Hancock, has taught in colleges, prisons and community settings since 1985. As a restorative practitioner, she draws on her experience as a jail chaplain, prisoner educator, congregational minister and college instructor. She facilitates peacekeeping circles, immersive learning experiences and restorative processes of accountability, healing and transformation.

Seligman will also be at the DubHub (Dublin Community Center) on Tuesday May 7, at 7 p.m.
