How to Win Friends and De-escalate Enemies
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
In these strange and divided times, people are increasingly craving a sense of community. This is a safe space to learn, grow, and grieve together twice per month and to express gratitude to those who participate in community and remain curious about ways to strengthen democracy.
Please join Randall Blazak and Eastlandia Indivisible to bring people together and foster a more peaceful democracy. Many individuals wonder how to address extremism in the current climate, and Blazak’s work provides the tools to discuss these issues calmly, kindly, and consistently. His extensive study of right-wing extremism has evolved from a macro perspective to a micro focus centered on mindfulness. During the first hour of the gathering, he will present on “How to Win Friends and De-escalate Enemies: Mindfulness and Resistance.” The organizers welcome questions, discussion, and new friends to the event.
Please RSVP and bring your energy, curiosity, and kindness. Refreshments, action tables, and a safe environment will be provided.
