Braver Angels Workshop – Depolarizing Ourselves

Much of today’s polarization is driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies. This free, 90-minute workshop offers participants:
· How to identify their own “inner polarizer.”
· How to be critical of other viewpoints without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population.
· Strategies for intervening constructively in social conversations with like-minded peers when these conversations veer into contempt and ridicule for people who hold other political views.
Who can benefit? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
The event will be held and St. Andrew Lutheran Church and led by one or more Braver Angels trained moderators or volunteers. All are welcome!
