A free workshop with Marianne Cerilli
How do we speak across divides and find common ground?
How do we bring more healing, honesty, and integrity into the spaces where decisions are made?
Join us for a 90-minute online workshop where educator and changemaker Marianne Cerilli introduces The Politics of Unity - a framework of 40 guiding principles for making politics more trauma-informed, health-informed, and rooted in our shared humanity.
In this session, we’ll explore:
How cognitive biases and cultural conditioning shape (and limit) our dialogue
Practical tools from conflict transformation and systems thinking
Power Styles, one of the Politics of Unity tools, offering new ways to understand and wield power for deeper collaboration.
This is a space for bridge-building, and making room for empathy, integrity, and generative communication. Whether you’re engaged in community work, policy, activism, or just trying to have better conversations in daily life, this workshop will offer both insight and practical approaches.
Come as you are. All are welcome.
About Marianne Cerilli – Change Agent
Marianne Cerilli has been a trailblazer in Winnipeg, Canada - most notably through the naming of the Marianne Cerilli Trail, in recognition of her work to create healthy communities and a sustainable city.
As the youngest female Manitoba Legislative Assembly Member (MLA) ever when elected, she led many initiatives. Including the rehabilitation of a former contaminate site, protection of tall grass prairie, and prevented unsustainable transportation investments, all to spark creation of the Transcona Trail Association.
As a young MLA Marianne was known for her feminist views and work to address all types of inequality and environmental ignorance. As an “opposition critic” she was not content to merely condemn the government, she saw herself as an elected activist who worked to steer policy and development in a more sustainable direction.
After leaving the legislature Marianne, was determined to bring what she had learned about government to the grassroots in communities so she started consulting in community development. You can learn more about her work and explore her changemaker resources at https://www.mariannecerilli.ca/
