All around us: crises, wars, political and social tensions. Many are experiencing this time as challenging - in our dealings with each other, in public discourse and with a world that is changing rapidly. Polarization is increasing, debates are hardening, division is pervading the country.
It seems as if our society is becoming increasingly divided.
What is your perception?
How do you feel about the impression that society is divided?
At the next Talking & Listening event, we will address precisely this question and create space for genuine listening and personal encounters.
In small groups, people will talk about their thoughts and experiences one after the other: without interruption, without judgment, with full attention for each other.
