Depolarizing Within (First United Methodist Church Loveland )

Note: This Free event is to be attended in person. (Promo code: BRAVER). You will not need physical or virtual tickets in order to attend this event.

Faith-Sponsored Workshop Overview

For people of faith, civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Since we are all children of God, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization.


Polarization can be driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies.

This *FREE* 3 hour in-person workshop teaches participants:

• How to be more aware of their own "inner polarizer"
• How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population
• How to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people.

Who can come? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.

*Tickets are Free, Donations Help Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket. Donations beyond the free ticket support Braver Angels, 501(c)3.
