Casting Circles
Maria Scarangella, LMSW is the founder of Casting Circles LLC, a Hudson Valley-based consulting and training practice dedicated to bringing restorative and relational approaches to schools, organizations, and communities.
A Fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Juvenile Justice Reform and a Licensed Restorative Practices Trainer through the International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP), Maria brings over a decade of direct experience doing this work in schools, juvenile justice settings, and community organizations across Ulster County, New York.
Through Casting Circles, Maria offers professional development workshops, CEU-approved trainings for licensed social workers, and community events designed to build connection, repair harm, and restore relationships. Her events are participatory, small, and grounded in the conviction that how we show up with each other is the most consequential thing we do.
