Welcome!
I'm David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris (all five names for all the ancestors).
You probably landed here from my free content on YouTube, Substack, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.
Whatever the case, welcome to the hub of my personal work, I live my life shaped by the Indigenous principles of "interconnect" passed down from the ancestor. And I share reflections, stories, and practices that are shaped by, but don’t always fit neatly into a "Restorative Justice" framework.
(If you’re looking for Restorative Justice education, trainings, resources, and support for implementing RJ in schools, organizations, or communities, visit AmplifyRJ.com.)
If you identify as a community member, parent, partner, worker or really any human reckoning with how to embody care, accountability, and repair in everyday life, this is the space for you.
Join the Restorative Support Community and you'll get access to my not so public thoughts and reflections, new projects, and connection with a community of humans practicing RJ as a way of living.
The reality of doing this work in today’s political climate, and still wanting to have enough energy to show up in a good way is that I can’t do it alone.
This work needs community to sustain it. If what I share has value for you, I invite you to join my support community through the membership tiers below.
Your support here makes it possible for me to keep showing up sustainably with honesty, depth, and care.
