More about the
Palestinian-Jewish
Dialogue Weekend
Why
This will be a weekend opportunity for those who are deeply
interested in Jewish-Palestinian Sustained Dialogue to finally meet
face-to-face, review principles of Dialogue and outreach, consider shared
challenges to Sustained Dialogue, and think together about deepening and
widening the Dialogue circle, here and overseas.
What
Beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday,
the days will have structure but will respond and flow with participants'
needs. We will offer during this relationship-based gathering
brief, substantive presentations, with graphics and printed materials
on:
1. Story as Entry to Dialogue
"An enemy is someone whose story we have not heard." Dialogue
begins with Story, and with compassionate listening. The prescription is to
listen to everyone - even to the "enemy" - without "yes,
but." And not just when it's easy, but when the wind is blowing 100 miles
an hour. Like now.
2. The Process of Social Change Through Dialogue and
Expanding Identification
Social change
needs Time. It begins with individuals - Innovators and Early Adapters, in
Dialogue with others, even "enemies." One Listens compassionately to
learn from the "other," to discover together a new social
intelligence. Energy, once wasted "against" "enemies," is
in a new, creative capacity to respond.
The "action" of Dialogue is relationship-building -- widening and
deepening the ever-increasing circle. With Dialogue comes discovery of a
stronger faith and sense of self, and Expanded Identification to
include all of humankind and life.
3. Beginning, Maturing, and Growing A Dialogue
Want to begin a Dialogue Group where you live? This is a how-to! Finding Dialogue partners. Conducting
first meetings. Establishing a dependable core group.
What Dialogue is and is not. Dealing with dynamics. Deciding when and how to begin outreach and public offerings.
Working with the media. Widening the
circle. Finding balance of Dialogue and Advocacy.
