We will gather to learn about and practice the art of relational meetings. Unlike most casual conversations, relational meetings are deeply intentional dialogues that are designed to identify the people and experiences that matter most to each of us, the values that animate us, and the issues that we care about. These kinds of intentional conversations are a crucial organizing tactic and also a powerful practice as an end in itself. At the meet-ups, we'll spend some time talking about these conversations - why they're important, how to go about them - and then we'll split off into pairs to have them with each other. This should be powerful experience, and will also prepare us all to have more intentional/relational conversations with other people.
