CONVERSATIONS

Conversations at Stillpoint
Wednesdays from 12:30-2PM

Each week we will explore a topic that is hard to talk about and even harder to find consensus on. The format is simple. We will keep the groups smaller than 30 people, allowing us to explore territory not possible in larger groups. Each person will get to share the life experiences that brought them to their current perspective and values. Participants will not be allowed to speak for more than 2 minutes at a time. In between speakers, we will pause for 15 seconds, to take in what has been said and notice our own reactions. This will continue for 90 minutes.

THIS IS NOT A DEBATE. This is a chance to listen and to be heard. By listening to others and by being listened to, we begin to connect with each other across the issues that divide us. We find some common ground. What we do with that afterwards is up to us.
