Are you ready to Depolarize?
We’re excited! Our first workshop, Depolarizing Within, will take place November 10. Political polarization is tearing our country apart. Many of us recognize that we are not immune from the ideas, beliefs and behaviors that feed this destructive situation and are working to break the cycle.
Conversations with loved ones, co-workers and acquaintances are made difficult because so much information is itself polarized. So, where do we begin? By recognizing our own biases, learning to evaluate others’ ideas with a more objective and less judgmental ear and mind, as well as learning how to steer conversations to a more productive outcome: that is mutual respect.
Note that by "polarization," we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are talking about how we personally regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of the political aisle.
WHAT: 90 minutes of engaging conversation in which we hope you will participate.
WHEN: Wednesday, November 10, 2021, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM ET
