Kris,
Love your blog! Thank you so much. I live in Winona, have been a volunteer with RJ for about ten years. Have done circle training with Kay Pranis and some things at Hamline U. Joyce and Jessica do a great job here in Winona County. I love RJ — it’s a very loving and civilized way of being. — Jim

Jim – my first training with Kay was in Winona, set up by Joyce. So the program is dear to my heart. Good job volunteering – it’s so important to have great volunteers. Keep up the good work and thanks for the comment!

I have been volunteering with RJ here in Winona, MN for almost a year. I just completed about twelve hours of circle training with eight amazing, dedicated individuals. You’re right Joyce and Jessica rock! We are very fortunate to have this here.

Hello my name is Shana Heikkinen, your Uncle Eddy and I are friends through my Uncle Larry. He told me that your a counselor and I am very interested in that for my Master’s degree. I am currently an Education major for my Bachelor’s and would like to know what I need to do to continue my Master’s for counseling. Any advice would be helpful and I would appreciate it.

Hello Kris,
What a lovely site. Thank you!
I am researching the use of peacemaking circles’ (ala kay) in the classroom and came across you. Do you have any other leads on the topic?
