Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop

This free introductory Braver Angels workshop is being offered in two locations. The St. Andrew Presbyterian Church workshop is set up as two one-hour sessions. The Albuquerque Mennonite Church offers the same material as one 1.5-hour session. Either one will help you become a Braver Angel in your own world.

When you are only with people who agree with you politically, what do you say about those on “the other side”? A first step in counteracting political polarization is to depolarize ourselves.

This class is designed to help you be aware of and counteract the “inner polarizer” that can incline us toward stereotyping, dismissing, ridiculing, and contempt of those with differing political views.

The leaders are certified facilitators of this introductory Braver Angels course.

February 8 and 15 11:00am-12 noon
