Agreeing To Disagree About One’s Beliefs

Experience a process to set the climate of the mind for comfort, safety, mutual respect and a deeper connection with other people…even when their beliefs are vastly different from yours.

• How do you have a respectful dialogue when you disagree with someone’s religious beliefs?

• How do you hold onto yourself when someone is adamant about their beliefs and perhaps adamant about selling them to you?

• What’s going on in the mind that makes discussions about core beliefs sometimes feel like life or death?
