Community Listening Circles

 
 

Allowing ourselves to be deeply heard and to connect with others is a transformative and powerful opportunity.

Listening circles are where we practice listening and we practice being heard. Allowing ourselves to be deeply heard and to connect with others is a transformative and powerful opportunity.

Listening circles are a space in which we offer our curiosity, compassion, and our full attention. They are an opportunity to bring awareness to the undiscussables and to hold sacred the complexities of our lives. Through the holding and sharing of this space together, we build and practice empathy as a most important competency.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter until they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. Then you will see what medicines they make, and where and when to apply them. That is the work. The only work.
