From inhale AND exhale (our breath) to logic AND intuition (decision-making) to masculine AND feminine (formation of life); seeming opposites pervade our personal and professional lives. The same is true with liberal AND conservative; both perspectives and viewpoints hold merit - and when we're unable to see that, we each move further into polarization and othering. No one EVER changed their belief structures b/c of judgment or shame. Our world needs a heck of a lot more mutual understanding and compassion right now - and I believe it's the only way forward. > > Anyway, if this feels like something you might be interested in, I'd love to see you there.
