Cranaleith Spiritual Center (13475 Proctor Rd., Phila.), invites people of all backgrounds and perspectives to participate in Conversations That Matter: Taking Steps Towards Healing the National Divide through the Imagination of Hope.” Join us for an honest and meaningful dialogue about your hopes and concerns as we navigate in a deeply divided country. Discussion topics will include communicating with people you don’t agree with; being influenced by a culture of fear; and finding common ground amid differences.
The program will take place on Saturday, March 11, 9:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Tickets are $35 and include lunch. Register online at www.cranaleith.org or call 215-934-6206. Some financial assistance available.
Participants will learn how to use Contemplative Dialogue, a practice of seeing things as they are without bias or filters. They will learn constructive ways to communicate with others for the sake of the common good – without the blaming or defaming, so common in our society today. Guests will come away as better listeners and with a process for seeing the humanity in others, even when you disagree.
