SUMMARY:Depolarizing Within\, a Braver Angels Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Polarization can be 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. \nThis free 3 hour workshop teaches participants:\n• How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”\n• How to be critical without demonizing\, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population\n• How to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people. \nAnyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others is encouraged to come. \nThe follow-up workshop\, Skills for Bridging the Divide will be offered on Nov 11.

SUMMARY:Deep Connection Mixer - An Evening Of Unforgettable Connections
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever attended a meetup or some other social gathering and gotten stuck in “small talk” that went nowhere? \nAre you tired of polite\, boring conversations that don’t light a spark and make you really feel something inside? \nIf you answered “yes” to either of these questions\, then you’re going to love this. \nThis is a unique kind of social event where the focus is on playing games that create interesting conversations and profound connections with some warm and amazing people. \nBy participating in these eye-opening (and heart-opening) exercises\, you’ll not only have a lot of fun\, but you’ll learn a so much about yourself and the people around you. \nAnd on a practical level\, you’ll also learn tools that you can use in your everyday life to create deeper connections with others. \nWHY COME TO A DEEP CONNECTION MIXER? \nYou’ll discover how you are truly experienced by others in fun\, eye-opening\, and compassionate ways. \nYou’ll learn to navigate those moments when you’re not sure what you’re going to say next\, and surprise yourself at how interesting and creative you really are when you stop trying to manage how others see you. \nYou’ll learn how to share yourself more authentically in conversation\, and that will serve you in other areas of your life as well. \nRather than having a night of boring small talk\, you’ll actually get real with the people you meet… giving you the kind of deep\, connected experience we often hope for at gatherings\, but rarely experience. \nAnd you’ll have a lot of fun! \nDoes that sound like music to your ears? This is going to be very different from what you typically experience at a meetup event. I’m excited to create this together with you! \nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \nWhere is it? – The event is held at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA which is a beautiful facility for an event like this. \nWhat time? – We start promptly at 7:00pm and go until 9:00pm (with a break in the middle). Please plan on arriving by 6:45pm so you have time to settle in and meet the other participants. \nHow much? – I wanted to keep this affordable for everyone\, so it’s only $20 to attend. That is very inexpensive for a facilitated gathering where you are guaranteed to meet great people and actually have meaningful connections with them. \nI’m looking forward to seeing you there. \nWarmly\, \nJason
