restorative narratives
Explore forgiveness through real-life stories
We believe stories can transform how we see ourselves and relate to others. That’s why we share restorative narratives—real-life stories of people and communities learning to rebuild after difficult times.

"I thought I had forgiven my Japanese captors, and yet was always aware of the hairs rising in the nape of my neck when I heard a Japanese voice."
Tony McAleer

Pardeep Kaleka
"We decided we needed to reach out and get to know our neighbours, making contributions to our community and learning together."
