What we’re about
Join us every third Thursday of the month, from 6:30 – 8 pm on Zoom to discuss and practice Fierce Civility.
Our current political and social climate has made it clear that it is more challenging to have civil, respectful discourse and that we’ve stopped listening to one another, particularly to those who hold different views. Many of us know that this needs to shift in order to create lasting change, yet we don’t seem to know how or where to begin.
This meet-up is for those who are looking to:
• break the polarity of our current political and social climate
• find internal practices to cultivate more resilience and inner peace
• step into more authentic ways to express personal power
• gain support from others who share similar values
• develop the courage and skills to advocate for a work, social, and political environment that is in alignment with values of civility, respect, equality for all and compassion.
Fierce Civility is an approach to breaking the gridlock of polarization, both internally and externally. Through regulating our nervous systems, learning to speak and listen from the heart, and knowing how and when to pivot out of being stuck, we cultivate capacity for building bridges.
This regular meet up will be led by Joe Weston - international trainer, coach, author, and advocate for peace. He will share concepts and practices from his upcoming book Fierce Civility, as well as create the space for respectful dialogue amongst those present in order to explore ways to sort through some of the confusion of our time and also take these concepts into action.
These meetups are open to all who are interested, regardless of beliefs or political affiliation. Tell all your friends! Drop in for one event, or come on a regular basis.
