  • Worldview Learning Series: Workshop 2

    Featured Recurring
    LMH Room A 26 Pleasant St, Newburyport, MA, United States

    Saturdays, November 21 and 28, LMH Room A, 9:30-11am. Finding Common Ground: Practical Conversation Skills Across Worldviews How can we connect more meaningfully with people whose perspectives differ from our own? In this interactive 90-minute workshop, we will develop and practice conversational skills that help us bridge differences and discover common ground. We will explore how to listen with curiosity, ask questions that deepen understanding, recognize shared values, and respond constructively to disagreement. We will begin with a brief review of key concepts from the updated Introductory Worldview Workshop, then devote most of our time to guided partner and small-group exercises. The emphasis is on practical skills we can apply in everyday conversations—not on persuading others to change their minds, but on creating trust and mutual understanding that make meaningful dialogue possible. Prerequisite: Prior attendance at the Introductory Worldview Workshop is necessary. Contact David Turner, davidyturner@gmail.com, to enroll or for questions.
