To date there have been six implementations of Meetings of Opposites.
- In 2012, a one-day event with an encounter between Pat MIchaels, former UVa faculty member, and Dr. Frederick Joyce, a presenter for the Climate Reality Project, for an audience of students in the Upward Bound program at UVa. Here is the original general Proposal for Meetings of Opposites with a report on that first Meeting: MoO Proposal and Report
- After the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017, several meetings of various kinds under the umbrella of Gov360[1], a local non-profit dedicated to dialogue and the renewal of civic discourse.
- In winter 2017, a course for OLLI entitled "Civics in Charlottesville: Meetings of Opposites."
- In winter 2018, another course for OLLI, "Civics in Charlottesville: From Us-Against-Them to We-For-Each-Other."
- For UnityDays, in 2019, a single workshop: "Where Do Stereotypes Come From?"
- In spring 2020, an OLLI course, "Walking Uphill Together: Meetings of Opposites," unfortunately cut short by the coronavirus, but moved (partially) online to use the platform of Living Room Conversations.
