The Practice of Radical Relation
Radical Relation exists to strengthen our capacity to remain in relationship with ourselves, one another, and the complexities that make us human.
We believe that the quality of our lives, our communities, and the institutions we create together is inseparable from the quality of our relationships.
Every interaction is shaped by the histories we carry, the identities we hold, the values we embody, the responsibilities we assume, and the experiences that have formed us. Wherever people come together, there will be moments of tension, uncertainty, disagreement, change, and rupture. We do not see these moments as signs of failure. We see them as opportunities to learn, to adapt, and to deepen our understanding of ourselves and one another.
Our work is rooted in a simple but demanding idea: difference need not lead to division.
Through restorative practice, dialogue, facilitation, consulting, and experiential learning, we help individuals, organizations, and communities develop the skills, practices, and structures that allow people to remain engaged across difference. Together, we create the conditions for trust, accountability, belonging, dignity, and repair.
At the center of this work is the understanding that people are more likely to participate, contribute, collaborate, and grow when they feel respected, valued, and connected to something larger than themselves.
In a culture that often encourages withdrawal, certainty, and polarization, we choose curiosity, courage, humility, and care.
We do not rush relationship.
We create the conditions that allow it to emerge.
Meet Our Team
Tiff Ortamond, MA
Founder & Principal Consultant
Tiff Ortamond is the founder of Radical Relation and a restorative justice practitioner, facilitator, trainer, and organizational consultant whose work centers on helping individuals, communities, and organizations strengthen relationships and navigate conflict with greater honesty, accountability, curiosity, and care.
Her approach to this work has been shaped by several formative experiences. During her military service, she witnessed firsthand the ways unresolved conflict can fracture trust, undermine belonging, and impact entire communities. Later, while working alongside the Tla'amin Nation in British Columbia, she deepened her understanding of the ways culture, identity, story, power, and relationship influence both conflict and healing. Together, these experiences continue to inform her relational and restorative approach to facilitation.
Today, Tiff serves as Director of Restorative Justice Programs at the Resolve Center for Dispute Resolution and Restorative Justice, where she works with schools, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, businesses, tribal communities, and justice-system partners throughout Oregon. Her work includes facilitation, training, conflict transformation, restorative process design, leadership development, strategic planning, qualitative inquiry, and organizational consultation.
Tiff believes that meaningful change becomes possible when people feel respected, valued, and genuinely included in the process. Her work is grounded in the understanding that conflict does not exist separately from the relationships, histories, identities, and systems that shape our lives. Through Radical Relation, she supports people in creating the conditions for dignity, belonging, truth-telling, accountability, equity, and repair.
Tiff holds a bachelor's degree from Pitzer College and a master's degree in Gender, Spirituality, and Social Justice from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
