Finding Connection Across Political Divides with Stephen Cataldo

Bridging Hearts & Minds: Finding Connection Across Political Divides

Have you ever felt your heart sink when politics comes up with family or friends? Many of us oscillate between avoiding these conversations entirely and leaving them feeling frustrated, disconnected, or misunderstood.

Join us for a transformative workshop where we'll explore how to turn political tensions into opportunities for authentic connection.

In this intimate, interactive workshop, you'll learn how to listen deeply to different perspectives while staying true to yourself and discover the shared human values beneath opposing political positions. Join us to learn practical approaches to navigate triggering conversations with compassion and clarity on social media and around the holidays.

Our facilitator, Stephen Cataldo, brings cognitive science to life through relatable examples and heartfelt exercises. As author of "Cognitive Politics: A Communications Workbook for Progressives", Stephen offers wisdom from years of helping people find common ground in polarized times.

We invite you to bring a real political conversation challenge you're facing. Perhaps it's tension with a loved one over a specific issue or difficulty you've encountered during advocacy work. Together, we'll explore approaches that honor the full humanity of everyone involved. You will leave with practical skills for healing our collective dialogue.
