Do it yourself! Living Room Conversations guides give you everything you need to have great conversations with your family or friends and their friends. If you have questions about how to do it yourself we have video, written materials and even office hours to answer questions. Co-host with a friend you haven’t seen for awhile and each invite two friends that you are curious to hear from—then have a great conversation. Don’t have your own video service? We can help! We have Zoom conference lines that we are sharing with Living Room Conversations users. Request one here.
We’ve written some great conversation guides specifically for this time; we also have conversation guides that are relevant now more than ever. Check them out below.
