Are you concerned about the increasing division and incivility in our country and community? Do you want to see more respect and compromise in our politics? Would you like to learn how to have more respectful conversations with others of differing political views? Then join Braver Angels Arkansas, an alliance of the national Braver Angels organization, for this upcoming presentation in Eureka Springs, AR.
The presentation and group discussion will include information about how polarization can cause dysfunction-both in ourselves and others. Also included is an overview of basic skills for bridging this difficult divide and having difficult conversations with respect and civility. We’ll include time for questions and discussion.

Civil Conversations series:
Co-sponsored by Braver Angels Arkansas & Garland County Library
After a successful year of civil conversations in Little Rock, we have moved the series to Hot Springs. Braver Angels Arkansas (BAAR) and the Garland County Library present Civil Conversations, a monthly series of conversations about politics and related topics. We welcome citizens who seek a respectful, safe environment in which to listen with curiosity to others and to speak effectively about their own views. Moderators from BAAR, trained by Braver Angels, will provide skills training and coaching while encouraging all to maintain a civil and respectful approach to our conversations. Anyone willing to commit to respectfully listening to others, and to sharing your own views with respect, is welcome. We will follow a specific format, and moderators will help ensure all participants follow guidelines for civil discussion. No registration is needed to attend. Email cathi@fiberpipe.net for details or questions.
Series schedule: We meet 2-4 pm on the 1st Sunday of each month at the Garland County library at 1427 Malvern Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71901. Come join us and bring a friend with different political views to learn effective communication skills and to practice respectful dialogue.
Goals of this series:
• Develop and practice communication skills
