Note: This *FREE* event is to be attended in person ( Promo code : BRAVER). You will not need physical or virtual tickets in order to attend this event. In this polarized time, we lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested. When we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding. We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground. Goals More understanding of the values and concerns of people who differ from you politically Better skills for listening in a way so that the other person feels heard Better skills for sharing viewpoints in a way the other person might hear -- even if they disagree * Tickets are Free, Donations Help Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket. Donations beyond the free ticket support Braver Angels, 501(c)3. Questions?

Don't Miss Gutalax! This Czech band brings a unique and irreverent approach to grindcore and goregrind, blending humor and high energy into their distinctive sound. Known for their unapologetically crude, satirical lyrics about fecal matter, Gutalax tackles the absurd and often vulgar in a way that’s as humorous as it is outrageous. Behind the humor, Gutalax showcases impressive technical skill, with music that’s both fast-paced and masterfully chaotic, along with their frontman Martin Matoušek’s unique ‘pig-like’ vocals they set themselves apart from the grindcore scene. Their live performances are nothing short of unforgettable, filled with colorful costumes, absurd props, and relentless energy, making every show a wild escape from the ordinary. This mix of technical precision and boundary-pushing humor has gained them an international fan base that appreciates both the rebellion and the community that Gutalax inspires. For those open to a taste of the unconventional, a Gutalax show is an experience not to be missed. Brought to you by Grindhead Productions this will be one hell of a boat party!
