Rolling Thunder in Ottawa - Opening to listening beyond division


 

Hey facilitators for Change!? We are looking for more facilitators who want to help people deal with polarities to practice together in a fun and supportive space!? Each month we host a dialogue on a complex issue that has become polarized and practice how to listen beyond the division.? We use a lot of spiritual principles for this which can be off-putting for some, however they are the tools that make the difference in this capacity.? Can you help bridge the divide from spiritual to practical!!?

Is there a topic you would like to co-host with us, one month this year?? We meet one a week for four weeks to prepare for each month's call.


ALso, We have a great event happening today.? We generally do not record our events due to the taboo/complex sensitive nature of them.? So please join if you are intrigued!

Invite:

Today, as the Rolling Thunder event stirs us up again in Ottawa. It can be hard to hear each other over all the noise. The Spirit of Canada Dialogues project offers an opportunity to listen to two differing narratives of the pandemic and freedom convoy that is alive in Canada today.

We will host two circles of everyday citizens sharing their experiences. A small circle of people who subscribe to one side of the narrative will speak and share their experiences, the people who resonate with the opposing narrative will practice sitting and listening only. We will practice noticing what happens inside us. We will learn what it takes to listen beyond division and what habits so easily allow us to slip into polarizing. We'll practice a few tools for remaining balanced inside as tensions rise in this type of conversation. This is a first step in a process of learning to deal with the many polarities of our world without getting polarized in anger and violence. ?
?

What great possibilities can we see emerging from the divide, what are the longings being expressed for Canada?
?

Join your co-hosts Voices for Inclusion and the Spirit of Canada Dialogues Project core team, as we invite our community with a diversity of experiences of the pandemic and the convoy to explore together.?

Dear Kara,

I saw this mail only today. As I have been following & appreciate your work, I read it.
However, to be honest I wondered about the method. As a participant I might be someone who has not (yet) chosen one side or the other and in this? set-up, I am asked to decide with which side I resonate most.

Just my two-cents.
Keep up the good work!

With kind regards,
Griet (admin FB Circles of Wisdom)
