This event starts in:
This Integral Life Experience is only available to the supporting members
Every day there is a new headline or social media post showing just how far apart we’ve all become. Issues that once sparked civil debate—including poverty, racism, sexism and climate change—now provoke political grandstanding and shouting matches. How do we bring all of the opposing sides in our culture together for dialogue, learning, and change?
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Barry Johnson, esteemed teacher and author of all things related to polarity thinking, to dive deeper into the concept of AND-thinking, and share real-world techniques to bridge the divides that separate us and move towards understanding and healing.
PLEASE NOTE: Kindly prepare for this session by reading the below PDF from Barry’s book, “And” prior to the session.
