WILLIAMSVILLE — Restorative Community Practice of Vermont (RCPVT) is sponsoring a series of community conversations in Newfane, encouraging folks with differing ideological perspectives to meet together to discuss the issues, exploring both their shared and diverging views.
“The purpose is not to convince anyone to change their mind about their beliefs,” organizers wrote in a news release. “The idea is to give folks a safe and respectful venue in which to fully air their beliefs without interruption, condemnation or condescension. These conversations are facilitated to ensure that these goals are maintained.”
RCPVT says they have had two of these conversations in Newfane over the past few months and that “everyone who participated appreciated the experience and found that their time in conversation was well spent.”
Their next meeting will be on Saturday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to noon. Participation is limited to six people per session to ensure that everyone is fully heard. If you are interested in joining us for this or future conversations, visit rcpvermont.org or phone 802-348-7701 to register. You can also learn more about the entire process without committing to participate.
