It's here, and it seems we need it more than ever! Session B of the original sold-out "How to talk about politics constructively." This workshop is only open to folks who've completed Session A in either October or November. Our facilitator, Dr. Jackalyn Rainosek, asks us to emphasis participants bring their materials from Session A, as we'll reference them in Session B, and arrive on time/early as the exercises and role-playing builds on techniques practiced in Session A and new items to be learned at the beginning of Session B.

As you know from Session A, this workshop equips us to have a plan and framework for difficult conversations, so we're better able to engage people who see the world very differently than we do. It does NOT "arm us with zingers" as someone inquired :-) it gives us a framework for reaching underlying values and finding common ground. Re-establishing conversations around shared values can help make a huge difference as we head into the 2018 elections (and while gathered around holiday tables).

Date: Saturday, December 9, 2017

Time: 9:30 arrive and check-in for 10:00 am start. We'll conclude by 12 noon.
