Values and Principles. Though each IDRP develops its own values and principles, all IDRP generally: • are designed by those who use them • are guided by a shared vision • call participants to act on their personal and shared values • include all interests, and are accessible to all • offer everyone an equal, and voluntary, opportunity to participate • take a holistic approach, including the emotional, mental and physical and spiritual • maintain respect for all • encourage exploring instead of conquering differences • invite accountability to others and to the process Structure – IDRP provides effective support to groups seeking to stay on course with the values and principles they have established for their process. These processes may vary according to custom. Healing Circles informed by cultural protocol are one example of IDRP and must be experienced to be fully grasped and replicated. However, there are some key structures that help to define them. • Participants are seated as dictated by custom focusing on the centre where cultural medicines are placed to remind participants of values shared among those in the circle. • A talking piece is used as a way to ensure respect between speakers and listeners. The talking piece is passed from person to person and only the person holding the piece may speak. • A designated and mutually agreed person will act as "keepers", to guide the participants and maintain a safe space. • Cultural protocol and custom are used to create safety, understanding and collaboration. Benefits of IDRP Some of the benefits of IDRP are that it: • builds relationships • fosters open dialogue • encourages values based action • provides a space to acknowledge responsibility • facilitates innovative problem solving • addresses the deeper causes of conflict • empowers participants and communities • breaks through isolation • brings healing and transformation
