Online workshop: Creating Conversations that Connect- Ideological Edition

Many of us feel the divisiveness of our time. We long to talk about issues and topics that are important to us with people- especially family members and friends- who may see things differently, but we’re afraid that doing so will break connection and create irreparable discord.

How do we move from “us” and “them” to a sense of shared vision?

 
This 2-hour online workshop introduces a framework for finding connection in challenging conversations about ideological issues that are important to us.* Learn to identify, honor, and express yourself with clarity, honesty, and integrity. Using these strategies opens possibilities for win-win outcomes.
 
The workshop includes:

  • An outline of the framework

  • Introduction of strategies

  • Modeling of the practices, with particular focus on conversations about issues

  • Skills and resources to use immediately

This workshop will be recorded. The recording will be available for viewing for 2 weeks after the workshop.

The Standard Contribution Level is $44. The Pay-It-Forward Contribution Level is $66 (this contribution level supports scholarships for this or future events). The Scholarship Contribution Level (limited in number) is $22. Please consider mindfully what you are able to contribute.

You may pay with a card while registering or use the code PAYOFFLINE to pay via Venmo, Zelle, or with cash.

Add an optional practice session December 9 for $33/$16 scholarship. Because of the vulnerable nature of the conversations, the practice session will not be recorded.

If you are looking for tools for conversations of a more interpersonal nature (navigating challenging conversations in the home, for example), more workshops and classes are coming in early 2025!
