From Isolation to Community - An Open Community Forum Tuesday 8th Dec 2009

Methodist Church Dorset Gardens, 6.30 pm – 9.30pm, *Free, Facilitators; Anup Karia, Stanya Studentova, Olufemi Hughes
Community Dialogue for Change (CDC) - Invites you to the Continuing Dance of Dialogue - a Facilitated Process. This is the last in this series of 4 on the theme ‘From Isolation to Community’ – (and related social /political issues of isolation, injustice, violence and our shared community) - All welcome. In all 3 forums we’ve had deep conversations, some bringing momentary connection and understanding, some reaching an edge that requires more attention. We grapple with how do we speak about tough social issues that affect us personally and the world around us? How do we take care of ourselves and others in a passionate process? How to support all voices and challenge societal injustices? How we can listen to each other and ourselves, holding the space for a deeper understanding?

Real commitment to working together,whether in the rough or the smooth to find ways through has been a hallmark of past forums. We will continue to facilitate to support and deepen the process of dialogue in the next forum and will also offer time for us to explore ways we might come together to integrate some of these processes in our lives.

On behalf of all @ CDC Chris, Havva, Henrietta, Olufemi & Yvonne
