Living Room Conversations
LIVE!
Watch our livestream series where we talk about some of the most relevant and pressing issues of today—with family members, friends, faith community leaders, subject matter experts, and more!
Take a peek into the vulnerable sharing and thoughtful insights that are at the heart of our conversations.
First Aired Wednesday April 13th
Humans are wired to connect, and conversation is one of our greatest tools for connection. Join us for a conversation watch party digging into what it looks like to build better communication: active listening, being curious, interacting with strangers, and being authentic.
We have assembled a diverse, inter-generational group including an author, college student, veteran, nonprofit executive, and high school senior.

Communitarianism
& Conservatism
This strain of conservatism involves prioritizing our local geographic identities while “conserving” our civic institutions (from the workplace to religious organizations) and what might be called “community commons” that anchor community life (parks, community centers, libraries and other common resources). Join us as six individuals with different views and life experiences talk about communitarianism and conservatism and what it means to them.
Juneteenth
Juneteenth celebrates the ending of slavery in the United States on June 19th, 1865. This date marks when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to share the news of freedom from enslavement. Note that this was two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
In this Living Room Conversation LIVE, six Black community leaders gather to share what Juneteenth means to them, offer ways others can honor this day, and consider their vision for continued liberation.
Mental Health and Belonging
This year Living Room Conversations‘ resolution is to create a focus on belonging. Where and how you feel a sense of belonging has a huge impact on sense of self and well-being. Last year, we saw an increase in the number of people interacting with our Mental Health conversation guide. Watch and listen as our five participants speak about Mental Health and Belonging through their own, diverse experiences.
