Election Night: Staying Open When the World Picks Sides
Election night is better spent in a room than in a feed.

About the event
However election night goes, you don't have to spend it alone with a screen.
Physicist and author Sky Nelson-Isaacs has spent many election cycles seeking out people who see the world differently — not to win the argument, but to stay curious through it. What he found underneath the disagreement, again and again, was connection. He joins us on election night to guide us through an interactive workshop of a simple framework called SEW (Style, Emotions, Wholeness) for staying grounded in exactly the moments that push us toward taking sides.
Drawing on his forthcoming book The Synchronicity Path, Sky looks at why the same arguments keep circling back into our lives, and what they might be asking us to learn. Expect real conversation, a glass of wine, and a room full of people trying to hold the same thing at once.
