1:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

During these times of chaotic busyness, distraction and division, one practice has the potential to effect enormous change. Listening.

In this session, we will be talking about sparking systems change through the simple act of listening in a new way - to ourselves and to each other. We will discuss the central importance of the quality of our awareness in designing genuine inclusive solutions to the systemic challenges we face.

In order to co-create the transformative solutions we are seeking, we must slow down and pay close attention to what is speaking from the future through each of us. To do this we need to listen carefully.

Participants will:

  • Practice a few different modes of speaking and listening with a partner
  • Identify how different approaches feel somatically and emotionally
  • Gain tools to begin noticing the quality of their presence and listening in their everyday lives
  • Reflect on how it feels to be heard
  • Leave feeling excited about connecting with others in new ways that nourish them, others, and the world.
