Listening to Self and Others
“Listening looks easy, but it’s not simple. Every head is a world.”
~ Cuban proverb
A NEW monthly offering from our popular Poetry as a Tool for Wellness series!
Saturday, May 4, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. PDT / 12-2 p.m. MDT / 1-3 p.m. CDT / 2-4 p.m. EDT
What are the qualities of compassionate listening? How do I know when I am deeply listened to? How can I deepen my own attention and listening? Explore how the practice of poetic medicine can hone our attention and help us drop the habit of judgment.
"Listening is a form of spiritual hospitality by which you invite strangers to become friends, to get to know their inner selves more fully, and even to dare to be silent with you."
~ Henri Nouwen
This event's facilitator is Kristin Thompson.
