Touchy subjects tackled

3

At Brave Conversations, facilitator Leigh Sloan is cultivating a community of people who meet monthly to learn from those who think differently on a variety of topics.

“We believe that by leaning in to conversations that are controversial, we will become better thinkers and better communicators– ultimately creating a better community,” she explained.

At the Sept. 26 meeting, they’ll work on conversation sharpening, matching people with different views to help each other stretch their perspectives in one or more areas.

Come with a friend and an open mind. Learn to enjoy honing the art of this kind of constructive, face-to-face, rather than Facebook, conversation.

The event starts at 6 pm. Beverages and food are available for purchase until 7 pm. The group will be in the inner room of the Coffee and Communitas building, 12100 Old Seward Hwy, Anchorage, Alaska 99515.
