Time to Depolarize Society (The Matrix of Peace)
Time to Depolarize Society; Tools to Bridge and Depolarize (The Matrix of Peace). The host for this show was Phyllis Blees. The guest was Joan Blades.
The discussion was: Guest Joan Blades (co-founder of MoveOn.org, MomsRising, AllSides, and Living Room Conversations) and host Phyllis Blees (author of The Matrix of Peace) lead a consciousness-raising dialogue on bridging divides and depolarizing today’s most urgent social, cultural, and political issues. Drawing from lived democratic experience and the Matrix’s whole-systems, multi-sector model, they explore practical methods to transform how we listen, dialogue, and co-create a peaceful society. Featured initiatives include Living Room Conversations; AllSides and AllSides for Schools; and the Bridging Movement: Better Together Film Festival, National Week of Conversation, Bridging Movement Alignment Council, Listen First Coalition, Weave, Braver Angels, MisMatch by AllSides, and Cultural Translator Training℠. AI tools like Depolarizing GPT further assist in building connection and countering disinformation. Whether citizen, change agent, or leader, this conversation equips you to engage more consciously, constructively, and depolarized.
The takeaway was: Participants explore how to bridge divides, depolarize dialogue, and co-create peace using lived democratic experience, the Matrix of Peace model, civic dialogue tools, and AI innovations like Depolarizing GPT.
