A 6-week journey to deepen connection, grow communication skills, and practice courageous bridge-building across difference.

In a time of deepening divides—across race, politics, generation, and lived experience—it’s more important than ever to build the muscles of trust, vulnerability, and relational courage. Whether you're trying to navigate hard conversations in the workplace or foster deeper connection in your community, the Building Bridges Cohort Program is a chance to slow down, reflect, and grow.

This program is designed to help participants:

• Strengthen emotional self-awareness and relational presence

• Practice deep listening and honest, compassionate communication

• Explore tools for feedback, generative conflict, and calling in

• Cultivate psychological safety and trust—especially across lines of difference

Through a mix of facilitated sessions and small-group Experiential Connection Labs (in the style of T-groups), participants will engage in personal reflection, interpersonal skill-building, and real-time practice.
