Join the Conversation
Relationships matter. When you get to know someone, it changes everything. Whether it is a loved one coming out of the closet that changes your position on the LGBTQ Community or getting to know someone from a different race or culture that opens your eyes to racial injustice, relationships matter. Unfortunately, we live increasingly segregated lives. Cancel culture. Political silos. Social media shouting matches.
panoRRama endeavours to change that. Through safe place conversations and discussion groups using our Conversational Covenant, members have access to an online community where conversations and relationships are centered. Each of our community features are designed to break down barriers and create a place where the diverse people of the world begin to see each other as family.
You are invited to become a part of the panoRRama Community. Every voice matters. Why not become a member and Join the Conversation!

There are so many things that divide us. Like spotlights focused on the things that make us different. These spotlights create categories, labels. Then these labels segregate us into groups of people that think like us, look like us, sound like us, worship like us, vote like us, love like us…and on it goes. Before long, everyone who is not one of “us” becomes labeled as “them”. Life becomes neatly sorted. Us. Them. Other.
We fear “Other”. We avoid Other. We blame Other. We build walls and lock doors to keep Other out. Other is bad. Obviously.
Unless Other is not as bad as we think. Unless Other is not actually bad at all.
What if we found out that everyone—Us, Them, Other—is much more alike than different? What if we looked below the surface and found out that everyone goes to bed at night with the same fears, wakes up with the same expectations, loves their family the same, and likes the same kind of ice cream? This seems like a better place to focus the spotlights.
