With Peter Block

Peter takes us through the experience of having conversations that make a difference in the world. It is these kinds of conversation that create a foundation for action that holds the possibility of reconciling community.

In March 2004, the first of a series of community conversations took place at New Thought Unity Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, with Peter Block leading us in a new way of talking about community -- a new way of talking about our own lives within a community.

Since then, a number of other conversations have been held at NTUC, and in other neighborhoods, including Pleasant Ridge. A companion booklet has been produced for the conversations, usually referred to as the Civic Engagement Series. You can learn more at www.asmallgroup.net. You may also download a copy of the Civic Engagement booklet in PDF format (284kb).
