He has facilitated training in Restorative Circles and NVC around the world with a depth & breadth of peoples and communities from small villages at the grassroots to governmental leaders at the United Nations on five continents.

Duke supports the transformation of active conflicts such as leading restorative dialogues between the Ukrainian army and a pro- Russian community near the warfront in Ukraine; or with government officials, minority groups, and those directly harmed by strikes and protests due to the promulgation of the new Nepal constitution.
