About The Event
This experiential workshop focuses on the core practices of Compassionate Listening:
- Cultivating compassion for yourself and others
- Suspending judgment
- Maintaining balance in the heat of conflict
- Listening and Speaking from the heart
In every human interaction, whether as friend, family member, mentor, co-worker, leader or social activist, the practice of Compassionate Listening builds trust, connection, understanding, respectful dialogue and sustainable solutions.
Listening as one of the most precious gifts we can give to another human being, and compassion as necessary for human survival. Our evolutionary capacity at this time may be directly linked to our ability to navigate conflict.
