Growing our Beloved Community
• What difference can it make,
when people with diverse perspectives
engage in productive and enjoyable conversations,
even on challenging social issues?
• What difference can it make,
when people become genuinely interested and curious about differences,
instead of threatened and defensive?
• And what difference can that make,
to the issues you care most about?
In our intro evenings, we offer you and your group a taste of the “OMAH” process.
In this work, each person gets to:
- share their own authentic perspectives
- feel deeply heard
- hear others’ strongly-felt beliefs, within a context of opennness and empathy
We invite you to experience a co-creative space,
where differences can contribute in a positive way to our evolving shared understanding.
We can explore a pre-selected topic, or select a topic based on participants’ input.
After a facilitated conversation, we can debrief our experience together, and explore possible applications.
Below are some comments that participants have made about this work:
“I see real value in this work for conflict resolution.”
“Reflecting on my own unconscious bias, and us-them nature, helps me become ‘part of the solution’. This was an opportunity to be faced with how to heal myself, so I can operate from greater integrity and wholeness.”
“This work creates depth with passion. Seeing it in others, feeling myself be moved – this activates me and gives me a sense of life again.”
