Whether it’s handling conflict, confronting a friend, expressing an unpopular idea, or trying to have a conversation with someone whose opinions and values differ from our own, we all encounter challenging conversations.

 Our Courageous Conversations series will help you approach those situations in a new and thoughtful way.  Over dinner, people of different backgrounds and disparate viewpoints will gather to explore challenging topics in a safe, respectful environment.

The programs will feature a catered meal, followed by meaningful, small-group discussions around an assigned topic (e.g. “stereotypes,” “identity,” “discrimination,” “gender dynamics,” “culture”). Guests will be seated with people they don’t (yet) know, and each table will have a facilitator to help ensure respectful, open dialogue and engaged listening.

This event is free but registration is required.
