Our Commitment to Creative Dialogue
This includes authentic and open communication; speaking fully what is in one’s mind and heart; a willingness to temporarily suspend one’s judgments and listen deeply; seeking to understand one another’s diverse perspectives and points of view; a spirit of free inquiry, and a desire to go beyond a single person’s understanding and shared meaning; awareness and incorporation of verbal and non-verbal communication; a capacity for mindful attention to, and inquiry into, the assumptions underlying one’s opinions and positions.
