Our Story Our Practitioners

Our Practitioners

Dr. Sherry Congrave Wilson

Founder & Lead Practitioner  |  she/her

Dr. Sherry Congrave Wilson is the founder of TTP Global LLC and creator of the
Restorative Ecological Model™ (REM), a framework that integrates restorative
practices, systems thinking, trauma awareness, cultural humility, and ecological
metaphor to support relational transformation within schools and organizations.
For more than two decades, her work has centered on education, restorative justice,
community engagement, youth development, conflict mediation, and equity￾centered systems change. She has facilitated restorative processes and
professional development throughout California and internationally, supporting
schools, nonprofits, and organizations navigating conflict, culture change, leadership
development, and community healing.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that harm cannot be understood outside of
relationship and context. Rather than treating conflict as isolated incidents, she
works systemically — helping communities strengthen the conditions that allow
trust, accountability, communication, and repair to become possible over time.

Dr. Sherry’s work has been shaped by years of study, facilitation, travel, and cross￾cultural learning experiences including Kenya, Cameroon, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Indigenous-informed restorative traditions. Her facilitation style is known for being calm, relational, direct, and deeply human.

In addition to her consulting work, she is currently developing global restorative
learning initiatives, public trainings, writing projects, and interdisciplinary work
exploring restorative practice, ecology, embodiment, and AI-supported reflective
learning.
