This Listening Session is an opportunity for our neighbors in Lanesboro and the surrounding area to leave the tiresome outrage and unhealthy division behind.

We’re seeking residents in this area from different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints to speak honestly about what matters to them as neighbors and to listen to others. In this structured conversation, we will explore what actions we could take together to strengthen civic trust and solve challenges for the common good.

Co-sponsored by the Driftless Fiber Arts Collective, this Listening Session is one in a series that will be held around the state for a new statewide project, Minnesota: Land of Neighbors. Land of Neighbors is aimed at combating unhealthy divisiveness in Minnesota. Organized by Braver Angels Minnesota, Civic Bridgers, and Common Ground USA, the campaign is funded by a group of Minnesota foundations.

The Driftless Fiber Arts Collective is an emerging non-profit entity based in Lanesboro, Minnesota that fosters connection through hands-on crafting, wordsmithing, peer learning, and community gathering.
