Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides

The goal of the Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides events is to demonstrate, how the methods and principles of Real Dialogue work in “real time” (facilitated by Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D. and a Real Dialogue specialist).

Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides would be a facilitated “difficult conversation” -- structured, spoken, and heard with respect for both sides. We will never solve our problems with climate change, health/immunity, anti-racism, the wealth gap, the medical-industrial complex, relentless wars, or the military-industrial complex without dialogue between opposing sides of our human views about the solutions. Our species is a species that must argue and debate our views; in that way, we discover the important truths. I hope to find funding or sponsorship for Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides because of the risks of polarizations about critical issues we are now facing.

“We find ourselves on different sides of a line nobody drew. While it may be one in the higher eye, down here where we live it is two.”
— Leonard Cohen
