This year, with the support of our many donors, volunteers, workshop participants, facilitators, staff, and dedicated board of directors, we were able to grow our global reach and impact.

​

Through our long-established Compassionate Listening workshops, as well as new offerings like our monthly Compassion Circles, we expanded our ability to nourish connection and rekindle hope in a world that often feels fractured and divisive.

​

Our Global Impact

• Worldwide Reach Participants and facilitator trainees came from 26 countries - a testament to the universal need for Compassionate Listening on every continent.

• Governing Board Established This year, we formalized our board of directors, strengthening our foundation and ensuring that the Compassionate Listening Project continues to grow with integrity, stability, and shared leadership.

• Facilitator Certification We celebrated seven participants, including leaders from Lebanon, Palestine, and Rwanda, who began or completed their Facilitator Certification, and are now bringing Compassionate Listening into their communities. 

• Scholarships for Access and Equity Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we awarded over $10,000 in scholarships this year, ensuring that people from diverse backgrounds and regions could participate, learn, and lead.

• Expanding Impact Compassionate Listening principles are now being applied and integrated in 36 organizations worldwide, supporting peacebuilding, community building, and personal transformation in settings ranging from hospitals and universities to intentional communities and conflict zones.

Why Your Support Matters
Your generosity keeps the light of Compassionate Listening shining brightly in the world. With your support, we can continue to provide tools and practices that foster personal growth, empathy, and constructive communication. By helping people build self-awareness and strengthen their relationships, the Compassionate Listening Project helps transform conflict into opportunities for understanding, connection, and transformation. Together, we inspire healing, hope, and renewal, from the inside out.

​

With every new workshop participant, facilitator, practice group member, a new community of peace is created. Because of them, deep listening is now happening in hospitals, schools, prisons, faith communities, businesses, universities, and homes. Every moment of presence becomes a small act of repair in a world longing for healing. 

​

Help Us Reach Our $25,000 Goal. Thanks to a generous matching donor, every gift will be doubled, up to $25,000.

We envision a world where every act of listening becomes an act of peace. Where transformation begins within each heart, and from that inner shift, the world itself is renewed. Peace is not distant; it is something we become. Your support brings that vision to life.
