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!
