How Does the Sycamore Tree Project® Work?
A small group victims and offenders are recruited by Prison Fellowship to meet together for a period of 5-8 weeks.
Using a tested discussion guide, the facilitator leads the group through a series of topics leading naturally to a time in which both victims and offenders can share letters and covenants which express how they feel and how they wish to move forward.
Offenders are invited to explore ways of making restitution for the harm caused by their criminal behavior. Victims are given the opportunity to consider ways in which they can take control of their lives and begin their journey toward healing and restoration.
Finally, the group meets in public celebration and worship.
