DESCRIPTION:Aviva and Rick Longinotti, MFT, lead a slide show and discussion exploring 
 the question: How do we express ourselves in order to expose injustice and 
 inspire people to take action, yet build dialogue, not division. The 
 presentation considers this paradox: we yearn for civil dialogue, but 
 frequently fail to use it. We look at the appeal of polarizing speech---why 
 it’s hard to avoid the habit of using it. \n\nPolarizing speech can have 
 painful consequences: division and violence. We look at historical and 
 contemporary examples of powerful nonviolent alternatives: \nspeech that 
 exposes injustice without provoking resentment\nspeech that inspires people 
 to take action without losing sight of the humanity of political 
 opponents\nspeech that enhances a process of dialogue, leading to 
 solutions\nFollowing the slide show, participants are invited to practice 
 Nonviolent Communication to transform polarizing speech. \n\nSaturday, Jan. 
 19 10am-1pm,\n\nat the Quaker Meetinghouse, 225 Rooney St., Santa Cruz\n
