Community Civil Conversations: Carroll County
Braver Angels Arkansas in Carroll County invites you to join us for our monthly meeting on Sunday, November 23rd, from 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., at Gotahold Brewery, 409 West Van Buren, in Eureka Springs (NEW LOCATION!) Each month we meet to discuss ways to respectfully engage with folks who have perspectives that are different from our own.
At November meetings, our topic will be “Who are Our Trusted Messengers?”. Participants are encouraged to share the news and information sources they rely on to be informed citizens and voters. We’ll also take some time to share how our Thanksgiving holiday fared with the implementation of the skills we learned from the “Families and Politics” workshop.
Our meetings are open to everyone, regardless of political affiliation. We seek to promote respectful conversation and community building, especially with folks who have perspectives that are different than our own. No registration is required to attend.

Community Civil Conversations: Hot Springs
Co-sponsored by Braver Angels Arkansas & Garland County Library
December 7, 2025 topic: “Hope”
The Hot Springs Civil Conversation series, monthly conversations about politics and related topics, will continue in 2026. The partnership between Braver Angels Arkansas and Garland County library has met a need for citizens to have dialogue on difficult topics to build trust and listen for understanding. The conversations are structured using Reflective Structured Dialogue (RSD). This methodology promotes thoughtful reflection and careful listening while creating a safe space for participants to share personal experiences and values, even on divisive topics. A trained facilitator relies on prepared questions pertinent to the topic, conversation agreements and designated times for speaking and reflecting to ensure everyone has a chance to speak and to listen without interruption.
Series schedule: We meet 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on the 1st Sunday of each month
at the Garland County library at 1427 Malvern Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71901. No registration is needed. Questions? Email cathi@fiberpipe.net or call: 307-763-6015
Please join us on Sunday, December 7th for a conversation on “Hope”. Anyone willing to commit to respectfully listening to others with curiosity, and to sharing your own views with respect, is welcome. Come join us and bring a friend with different political views to practice respectful dialogue.
