Bridging Our Divides -- Fostering Understanding and Connection Where We Live, Work, and Belong

In our small, rural county, we don't have the luxury of living in isolated bubbles. We see each other at the grocery store and the post office; we work and serve on boards together. While our close-knit geography creates strong ties, deep political, social, and cultural differences can make community life feel tense and polarized.

This interactive workshop offers practical, effective skills designed to help us understand others, de-escalate reactivity, (ours and others), and identify the shared human needs that unite us.
