As we discuss and demonstrate interactions with people of different views\, we will practice seeking to listen and understand\, clearly expressing feelings and experiences\, and finding common ground\, rather than trying to convince or attack people who think differently than we do.\n  \n“Depolarizing Within” will be on Sunday\, June 2\, 1:30-4:30 p.m.\, and “Skills for Disagreeing Better” will be on Thursday\, June 6\, 7-8:30 p.m.\, both in the Vestry. You can register for this pair of workshops through the E-Bulletin or the Events page of the First Parish website. Participation in the “Depolarizing Within” workshop is a prerequisite for attending “Skills for Disagreeing Better.”\n \nLearn about Part 1\, held on Sunday\, June 2\, 1:30-4:30pm \nPlease register via Realm for both Parts 1 (June 2) and 2 (June 6).
