Beyond Fear & Tribalism

Conscience in Uncertain Times

Format: Presentation & Discussion

Doors: 6.30pm

Event: 7pm - 9pm

In an increasingly polarised world, we can easily find ourselves trapped in moral and political conflicts with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers online.

With strong emotions locking our attention, how do we get better at understanding other people’s moral points of view? 

How do we recognise and work with our own blind spots or fixed ideas?

Could the answer lie in a recognition that stages in our moral development are shaped by our needs to feel safe, valued, heard and to belong?

Can this knowledge help us to understand other people's behaviour and, indeed, our own?

This evening with Ezra Hewing (Suffolk Mind) explores how to reach beyond our own fear and bias to find a freedom of conscience.

We will explore:

• The needs behind our moral development

• The evolutionary value of conscience

• Navigating relationships within polarised communities
