Welcome to The Living Bridge Project
Where we normalize curiosity as a default response to disagreement
Where we believe that the best idea is not my idea OR your idea, but the one that we can co-create through shared understanding
Where we empower ourselves, and others, to reach across the ideological divides with courage and compassion, and a true desire to understand.
Does coaching actually work?

How to prepare for a conversation with
your enemy.
3 Crucial Steps that will Guarantee a Better Outcome
So, you're about to have a conversation with somebody that (you think) disagrees with you about something important. Or, maybe you've already had countless conversations with this person and it's never been good... well,
that can really suck. I know, because I've been there too. Since then I have found and practiced a different way of communicating around disagreement that has completely changed my ability to open, be in, and close a
tricky conversation in a way that not only is peaceful (and less scary), but actually deepens the relationship and trust I share with the other person.

Living bridges have trees on both banks with roots that connect together
across difference and allow the safe passage across turbulent waters.

“Beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field, I will meet you there.” - Rumi
Philosophy;
Bridge builders facilitate the connecting of roots. They move through and inhabit the turbulent waters, willing to be shunned by both sides.
The field is fertile. This is a place where the tendrils of new ideas are not crushed by blind judgements. Ideas can germinate and grow together, and the most fruitful ideas will proliferate, creating abundance.
Gardeners in this field protect ALL fresh shoots.
Visitors to this field support the growth of the ideas that resonate for them, giving them energy with their attention.
The maturation of an idea is marked by the transition of it growing beyond the field and into the land of judgement. Can it serve society?
