Compassion is not a luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability; it is essential for human survival.
~ Dalai Lama
The world can be chaotic, noisy, and full of distractions. In difficult times, when we struggle and question our way, it’s common to lose sight of who we truly are and forget that this is too a part of the shared human experience.
Join Amalia and Liz as they share the compassionate Listening practice to help handle challenging situations when you feel most vulnerable and/or reactive. Discover your true self, your authentic and unique core essence to slow your mind, and tune in to your heart's inner voice.
Compassionate Listening is a practice that reaches deep into the heart of discord or disconnection, teaching us to listen with a different "ear" to those around us. Its powerful tools help transform the energy of conflict into opportunities for understanding, intimacy at home, healthy relationships, productive teamwork, and positive action. It is a practice that provides a roadmap to what sages from all ages and cultures have taught: cultivating the wisdom of the heart is the key to real peace "from the inside out."
The skills of Compassionate Listening will empower you to become a stronger peacemaker. As we harness the wisdom of our hearts, we can shift challenging communication and relationships into compassionate interaction.
This experiential workshop focuses on the core practices developed by The Compassionate Listening Project:
- Cultivating and Holding Compassion for Oneself and Others
- Developing the Fair Witness, without Judgment or Blame
- Maintaining Balance in the Heat of Conflict, with Respect for Self and Others
- Listening with the Heart
- Speaking from the Heart, with Language that Reflects a Healing Intention

We ask that you please attend each session since being together consistently enables us to build trust in one another and each session builds on the previous one.
