Presenters: Carla Shird and Jonathan Webb

Communities, as isolated as some are, never exist solely in silos. Communities are daily impacted by the decisions and proclivities of other communities. Complicating the well-being of communities further, are our own unique intersectionalities- the fact that all individuals are an amalgamation of various identities that shift and morph over time. Key to the survival of communities, especially those that are most severely marginalized, is the ability to engage courageously in dialogue. While navigating these difficult dialogues can feel overwhelming, there are very clear practices that can assist our processes. These processes, many with ancient origins, help people steer towards a dialogue that results in greater liberation and an experience of love. 
 
Through lecture, large group discussion, small group discussion, and individual reflection/journaling participants will be able to: 
1. Use appropriately the given nomenclature as presented in the workshop. 
2. Identify triggers as well as how to navigate them. 
3. Describe and effectively practice the steps offered to steer an effective dialogic process.
