Depolarizing Ourselves

Note: This FREE event is to be attended in person. Use promo code "BRAVER".

Polarization is fueled partly by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens rather than pursue respectful exchanges about our disagreements over issues or philosophy. Please join us for a workshop which aims to break this pattern by examining how we regard and talk about large groups of people -- people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle. Hosted by the new Braver Angels-Pierce County chapter.

Goals

In this 2-hour interactive workshop participants will learn:

• How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
• How to engage in conversations about areas of disagreement without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population

This workshop is open to people across the political spectrum who are interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others. The workshop presents concepts and skills and allows time for reflection and for sharing and practicing in small groups.
