About this Event

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead

On Saturday, March 28, we are hosting the A Small Group Intensive with Peter Block to explore the social architecture of creating community, connection, and change. This is an opportunity to practice bringing the means of engagement into your community.

What is the Intensive?

Join us at the Cincinnati Public Radio on Dana Avenue for an immersive learning experience featuring the Six Conversations with Peter Block and the ASG team. It is offered for people who want to deepen their understanding of engagement and the Six Conversations that offer structure for belonging. Listening well, asking powerful questions, and practicing curiosity are key elements of these conversations.

After an invigorating morning of deep learning and connection with Peter Block, you will join us for an afternoon to further explore and practice the Six Conversations. This session is designed to harness and amplify the energy, learning, curiosity, and connections you've cultivated. Whether it's insights from the Six Conversations or emerging ideas, this is your opportunity to dive deeper into what matters most to you.

Throughout the day, the ASG team will share stories of how they use ASG conversations in their personal and professional work.

Pre-work: It is not required. We recommend Peter Block's 3rd Edition of "Community the Structure of Belonging." It is available at most public libraries, bookstores, and online. Note: the 3rd editiion of "Community" releases this month/March.

We, also, have included links to two editions of the Civic Engagement booklet as a free download (copy and paste link into your browser): (2026 edition: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17qmW6emxc8-E3r9NMT-Rb4hj_LoXq4LR/view?usp=drive_link ) (original 2007 edition here: https://www.asmallgroup.net/wp-content/uploads/CES_jan2007.pdf.)

Either of these will help you to begin to prepare for the experience.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE ASG INTENSIVE EXPERIENCE

I was a complete stranger to the group and I was surprised how that did not make any difference at all. Because of the design of The Six Conversations, we could converse on a real level... without already knowing each.
I was surprised at how open, honest, and engaged that people were.
How it was easy to form a connection with the people in small group. It was important because it felt genuine.
How quickly we connect. Peter's questions work.
It left me wanting more.
