TIME TO TALK
and listen, and think, and reflect, and see more clearly

Every day I meet people who talk about how their lives have been influenced by the 2016 election and its aftermath.  
 
Folks have told me:
  • they're stressed, tired, depressed, anxious
  • they're struggling with relationships that have long been important to us and are now troubled
  • they’ve turned a corner and have pretty much checked out 
    • they just “can’t deal with the constant drama and seemingly endless stream of bright shiny objects.” 
  • Some have told me, they just don’t understand what any of the fuss is about. 
 
I think it's time talk...and listen...and try end understand one another, and maybe even ourselves.

Toward this end, I invite to join me for
  • one -on-one conversations
  • group discussions

These conversations are NOT about
  • specific politics, politicians, or even policies. 
  • changing minds, converting beliefs or arguing positions.  
  • therapy (though they may feel therapeutic!)
 
They are an effort to hold space and create opportunity for people to
  • speak freely about their personal experiences in these politically heated and socially challenging times
  • identify both challenges and insights  over the last 8+ months
  • explore relationships between the personal and the social (including the political) and how we’re navigating them
  • consider and see clearly our own beliefs and values (and ways they’ve been challenged and/or supported over these months);


Ultimately, the intention is to 
  • facilitate communication and understanding among and between persons regardless of political position and point of view
  • clarify our own beliefs and values and how they are shaped by and shaped our everyday lives, the culture in which we live, and the politics of our time
  • raise awareness about the ways each of us, day to day, either reinforces or challenges the dominant beliefs, ideas, and ways of being
