Please join our in person partner event with Braver Angels Orange County Alliance, on Saturday October 25, 2025, at 10:00am, as we present “Creating Common Values”. How are we to bridge our ever polarizing and divisive Democratic Republic from the many negative influences that are ever present in society? Are there myths and kernels of truth when we look at Due Process and The Rule Of Law?” A short presentation will be followed with an interactive workshop of Q/A and discussion, emphasizing creating open honest dialogue.

As always, please be prepared for an interesting, enlightening, and critical thinking discussion. As always, engage open-minded active listening skills, non-violent communication practices, and help us ensure that we create a comfortable environment open to all viewpoints. We hope you will join us, at this in person only event, to explore this very timely important and current social issue.

Please join our zoom only partner event with Braver Angels Orange County Alliance, on Saturday November 6, 2025, from 6:30-8:30pm, as we present “Depolarizing Conversations: Turning Arguments into Conversations”. Polarizing conversations can occur even without specific policy issues. This event aims to build skills that help prevent tense conversations from becoming arguments. This event is an adaptation of “Depolarizing Within” but without the political party references. This event teaches the “LAPP Skills”: Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, and Perspective, using non-partisan examples, while also emphasizing creating open honest dialogue.
