Bridging the Political Divide with Integrity and Grace

As country, communities, families, and friends struggle with political polarization, human connections have become strained or ruptured. How might such divisiveness hinder spiritual aspirations, and how can humility and compassion guide us to navigating political conflict with integrity and grace? 

Dr. Tania Israel is a Professor of Counseling Psychology at UCSB, an engaged member of the Santa Barbara community, and author of Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide, Skills and Strategies for Conversations That Work and co-host of the Buddhist podcast, Prajna Sparks.
