"Very impressed with Ramone's knowledge and communication skills. He obviously has integrated the theory and practice into who he is and how he communicates."

-Introduction to Restorative Practices Participant | I Have a Dream Foundation of Boulder County

Ramone, the founder and lead training and development consultant, is a well-rounded restorative practices practitioner with 10+ years of experience. Here are some key characteristics of his approach to the practice:

Practitioner Identity:

  • Community-focused: Emphasis on authentic connection with communities and ensuring stakeholders have a voice at the table.

  • Prevention-oriented: Focus on proactive restorative tools, particularly connection circles and restorative conversations.

  • Education-centered: Specializes in restorative practices in schools and learning institutions, with a passion for "educating the whole child."

  • Inclusive leader: Leads with the lens and perspective of a Black male practitioner to the work, focusing on equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Core Approaches:

  1. Connection Circles - for building and deepening relationships in learning communities and institutions

  2. Restorative Conversations - one-on-one processes to address concerns directly using restorative questions

  3. Repair Processes - processes for addressing specific harm to self, others, and the community

Philosophy:

  • "Transforming the Narrative" is a guiding principle

  • Values relationships as the foundation that leads to resilience

  • Practices inclusive leadership, striving to cultivate authentic, diverse, and inclusive communities

  • Focuses on cultivating collective leadership through restorative processes and rituals

I am particularly passionate about the intersection of restorative practices, social-emotional learning, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches in institutional settings.
