Kay Pranis Speaks on Restorative Practices
<div title="Page 1"><p>Kay Pranis is a leader in restorative practices, which bring together victims, offenders, community members, and police officers to discuss how best to respond to a crime. Moving beyond cases of crime, Kay has worked with others to facilitate the use of Peace Circles in schools, social services, churches, families, museums, universities, municipal planning and workplaces.</p><p>Of her own journey learning about and working within the circle process, Pranis says: “The circle became a way for me to see how humans can live more successfully with each other and the natural world, balancing group and individual needs and gifts. The circle became a way to move to a kind of world that I want to live in.”</p><img src="blob:https://www.hooplanow.com/bbc94b7e-8c74-4d5d-8b32-b3593b9770be" alt="page1image57987392" width="97.500000" height="0.750000"><img src="blob:https://www.hooplanow.com/2bd479db-e0ae-411d-928b-fd640b915f8f" alt="page1image59925648" width="167.250000" height="213.000000"><p>Pranis has written widely on the subject: Heart of Hope: A Guide for Using Peacemaking Circles to Develop Emotional Literacy, Promote Healing & Build Healthy Relationships with Carolyn Boyes-Watson (Living Justice Press, 2010); Circle Forward: Building a Restorative School with Carolyn Boyes-Watson (Living Justice Press, 2014), Doing Democracy: Engaging Communities in Public Planning with Jennifer Ball and Wayne Caldewell (Living Justice Press, 2010), and much more.</p><p>When and where can we see Kay Pranis?

This includes countless big band and combo settings, such as The Bob Weast Swingin’ Big Band and The Red Sneaker Dixieland Jazz Band. She has opened for and/or shared the stage with such luminaries as Sam Salamone, Frank Tribble, Irene Myles, Susie Miget, Bruce Katz, Robert Cray, Renee Austin, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and many more. Most recently, her much-lauded Queens of Jazz tribute shows at Noce Jazz Club in downtown Des Moines have cemented her place as one of the scene’s most sought-after vocalists. A two-time Iowa Blues Challenge winner, Tina is currently the youngest member (and one of the few women) of the Des Moines Jazz Hall of Fame. Best of all, she is grateful to share life offstage with her husband Brandon and daughter Dove. </p> 2019-07-11 21:00:00 -0500
