Touchstones Discussion Project

Touchstones is honored to receive a 2026 grant from the Anne Arundel Women Giving Together and the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County. This funding will support the continuation of our weekly discussion groups for incarcerated women, helping us further our mission of connection, reflection, and personal growth.

Hello, summer!

Longer days, warmer nights, and more chances to slow down and connect. We believe even a simple conversation can make the season brighter.

What’s something you’re looking forward to this summer?

This article highlights why Touchstones programs are such helpful tools in K-12 classrooms- increasing student engagement along with building emotional intelligence. Touchstones has supported teacher development as inclusive and collaborative discussion leaders for 42+ years.

Call to action: Learn more and participate in an immersive training this summer on August 4th at our online training for Touchstones Discussions!

Today, on International Day of Dialogue, we celebrate the power of meaningful discussion.
In a world where differences can often feel like divisions, dialogue creates opportunities for connection and community.
Dialogue isn't about winning an argument—it's about discovering common ground, learning from one another, and building relationships that can bridge differences.
