COSTA MESA ESTUARY - Meaningful Conversation & Community!

What actually happens at an Estuary event? An Estuary event is a two-hour conversation, but not just any conversation. We especially welcome people from different ideological backgrounds, different religions, different political persuasions, and different perspectives on current events. We appreciate intellectual diversity, intellectual honesty, and free expression. Our goal is to listen and learn, and perhaps even learn to love. How does it work? We use a structured protocol that encourages mutual respect and openness to new ideas There is no pre-determined agenda and nobody comes with a prepared lesson Each participant proposes a topic (or passes), and the group votes on which topics to discuss Every session is unique What kinds of topics? Intellectual – a book, podcast, article, or film that provoked thought Cultural/Contextual – world events, local news, political issues Personal – a life change, personal situation, or challenge Estuarial – comments about the group itself or the protocol No topic is off limits. We tackle the big questions of life – morality, meaning, current events, relationships, and more. No one should feel pressured to contribute; you can always pass and just observe.
