Depolarizing Within

Note: This *FREE* event is to be attended online.

In this time of polarization, many of us avoid conversations with others, even in our community, whose perspectives and opinions differ from our own. We worry that any attempts at discussions will devolve into arguments and acrimony, and result in anger and further divisiveness.

Braver Angels “Depolarizing Within” workshops build skills for having respectful conversations when differences arise. The workshops help us to reframe how we view the other side in the face of political and social-cultural conflicts that are dividing our country. Our ideological conflicts often become personal and are attracting “warriors” based on various issues.

In this 3-hour workshop, offered online over Zoom, you will learn skills and practice them. You’ll learn to:

• Become aware of your own “inner polarizer”
• Disagree with others without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping them
• Speak in ways others will want to hear
• Affirm the importance of building relationships
• Feel safe practicing your new skills

Please arrive on time for this highly interactive workshop. Check the time, and the time zone, to be sure you’re coming at the correct time. NOTE: We “close the doors” about 10 minutes after the workshop begins.

Who can come? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.

See you there!
