'Come to the Table' Offers Free Workshops on Understanding Social Differences

Two Rapid City businesswomen will host free workshops Aug. 29 and Sept. 2, with a goal of bringing the community together by understanding social differences through healthy writing, speaking and listening techniques.

The 'Come to the Table' sessions are organized by Leah Braun of Nsight Partners and Kate Meadows of Kate Meadows Writing & Editing. The first workshop is set for 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 29 at Rapid City Public Library, 610 Quincy St., while the second will be 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 2 at Fork Real Cafe, 324 St. Joseph St.

Both workshops are free, but participation is limited to 20 participants each.

Meadow said the sessions are an attempt to spark healthy dialogue in a society that is increasingly polarized and fractured. Participants will explore how their roles and experiences might contribute to constructive community dialogue.
