Navigating Divisive Conversations Workshop

This workshop is designed for anyone grappling with how to be a bridge builder in their life, in what may be a divisive environment otherwise. The tools learned in this workshop can be applied wherever one has relationships: work, family, friends, faith communities and beyond. In this session, we will make sure to look at what tools we can help in navigating differences within -and not just across- communities. This may include interfacing a variety of perspectives and/or processing styles. The facilitator will seek to contextualize the goals of present participants. Please join us for this timely work.

Presenter Bio:Rev. Carrie Graham has facilitated dialogues for 18 years. She founded The Church Lab in 2013, which is dedicated to innovative work in making spiritual growth and fruitful spaces for existential questions accessible to all. TCL activities center around dialogue work that strengthens us as peacemakers in our daily lives, and provides vehicles for collective spiritual growth. As polarization has increased within and across our communities over the last several years, Graham has offered as many workshops and trainings as possible to people hoping to find ways to be bridge builders in their day-to-day lives.
