Discussing The Topics That Matter Most - VIRTUALLY!

About this event

Contemplative Conversations has held a space for people to meet and talk about what is important to them for over 4 years! Covid-19 changed the world as we know it. We realized that meeting in person would not take place in 2020. Yet, for our group, these changes have come to be an opportunity to see and meet new friends - virtually. Contemplative Conversations will continue to host our discussions online via Zoom through 2021. In this way, we can meet and greet each other no matter where we are in the world! Eventually, we will return to meeting in person in locations around the Triad. Our conversations will always take place on every other Saturday morning at 9am - 11am EST. Same rules apply, so please read the description below. WHAT WE WILL DO *** We will spend a little time getting to know each other, and begin exploring the scope and direction of our discussions. The list of topics to consider is broad, and together we will narrow the field to a few most popular issues to focus on. As we move into the discussions, expect robust and energizing conversation that will peel back the layers of our topic and help us move to the core of the important issues we decide to address. We recognize that we sometimes don't agree with the opinions or beliefs of others who choose to join us; however, the diverse discussion that develops is encouraged. Contemplative conversations are not debates. Instead, we seek to understand, then be understood. To support this effort, we strongly discourage unfounded conspiratorially charged dialogue. IMPORTANT TO KNOW *** Our meetings will continue to be moderated. Disrespect in any form will not be tolerated. Each person will be allow 2 minutes to share their thoughts on the topic at hand. Please feel free to share resources you've found to be helpful. This meeting space will require a password to enter in the Zoom conference call. It would be helpful to download the free Zoom app to your device for easier access to the meetings.
