Across The Aisle

Bridging Social-Political Differences
One Conversation at a Time

Facilitated by John Kinyon

1st, 3rd, & 5th Fridays
1-2:30pm Pacific
(2nd & 4th Fridays are Mediating Your Life)

Across The Aisle is an open group forum to hear and understand each other across our social-political differences and divides.

The intention is to experience connection as we feel our underlying commonalities and larger wholeness as human beings and living beings of the planet — demonstrating and spreading the impact an empathic conversation structure has in creating understanding, connection, healing, wellbeing, cooperation, and the emergence of new creative possibilities.

REGISTER

The process is an empathic conversation structure where we take turns mindfully speaking and listening with a focus on understanding rather than agreement as we connect to what we share in common — our human feelings, needs, values, and desires. All are invited to participate, and you are also welcome to just listen and witnessing without speaking if you choose.

This space is a great place to build empathic community and connection. It is also a space to practice skills together for navigating and transforming conflict into connection, cooperation, and new possibilities.

There is usually a great combination of people who attend regularly, people who come periodically, and new people. People who attend regularly report having powerful, moving, deeply connecting, and even transformational experiences.

Please invite anyone in your community who you think might be interested, particularly those who hold political beliefs and perspectives different from you.

You are welcome to attend this event for free, and receiving financial support helps John to continue to offer this work to the world. If you feel moved to do so, you are invited to give monthly or per event. If it's your first time attending, you can give later if you wish, after you've had the experience. I welcome a one time payment or a monthly amount via Paypal. $25 per event is suggested.

See Recording Policy for this event.
