SUMMARY:Community\, Connection\, and Healing Circle
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to connect with others and build community during these challenging times? \nJoin us for a “round” of Community Connection and Healing (CCH). These monthly gatherings are a space where we listen\, share our experiences with one another\, and leave feeling grounded and supported with tools and resources to carry us forward. CCH Conversations offer a safer space to listen to each other\, talk about our problems\, concerns\, difficulties\, and achievements.  \nBy sharing our stories and listening to the stories of others\, we sow the seeds of community. \nWe’ll structure our conversation using ICT methodology\, a model developed in Brazil to create safer spaces where we can truly connect and promote healing by surfacing the wisdom of the group. Our trained facilitators will set some ground rules for the discussion and then invite the group to listen and share.  \nThis is a pay what you wish event\, so contribute what you can! Contributions allow us to continue offering programming that is accessible\, regardless of income.

SUMMARY:Bridge-Builder Workshop: From Division to Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The ability to listen with empathy and understanding is more crucial than ever. Many of us find ourselves frustrated and disheartened by conversations that feel more like battlegrounds than opportunities for understanding. 66% of Americans say that when discussing issues with those with whom they disagree\, people are “quick to attack them.” Only 24% say people are “quick to listen.” \nWhat if you could change that\, one conversation at a time? \nWhether you’re a community leader\, a concerned citizen\, or simply looking to bridge gaps in your own circles\, this session will equip you with skills to transform challenging interactions into opportunities for empathy\, understanding\, and connection\, supporting a shift from division to dialogue. \nWhat We’ll Cover: \nCultivating Empathy in Conversations: Gain insights into the emotional and psychological aspects connected to political beliefs\, and learn how to connect on a human level\, even amidst disagreement. \nTools for turning down the temperature: Equip yourself with practical tools to manage and diffuse heated discussions\, ensuring your conversations remain respectful and constructive. \nJUST Listening & Communication Skills: Learn how to genuinely hear perspectives that differ from your own and express your own views effectively\, transforming potentially divisive encounters into meaningful exchanges.
