Testimonials

When we think about what's needed to bridge the vital gaps in human understanding, Living Room Conversations has created an easy model anyone can use to start peace-building in their own lives and communities. After hearing from Joan and Brialle about the inspiring ways the model is being used across the country, and around the world, to heal across racial, political, religious, and other divides, our members wanted to try! Thank you for the conversation!

I entirely enjoyed my Living Room Conversation last year. We all need to learn to listen more to what others are saying, and this format focuses first on human connection to help tear down purely tribal barriers that divide. As a conservative, I encourage other conservatives to reach out and challenge assumptions about the “other.

You all do so much in providing the model and guides. The training took it a step further to expand on the logistics and role that the host plays to help enable open, honest and productive communication.

We want powerful, respectful conversations to become a social norm. Because of that, most of our materials are free and open source. You can check out out Host Toolkit, browse through our 100+ conversation guides, and attend one of our free trainings online. Please let us know when you are using our materials by telling us about your conversation and make sure you give attribution to Living Room Conversations.
