The Compassionate Listening Project empowers individuals and communities to transform conflict and create cultures of peace and healing. We accomplish this through educational workshops, multi-media communications, strategic partnerships with humanitarian, social justice and peace-building groups, and training delegations to conflict and post-conflict zones.

We hope that our inner healing will ripple out into the world through our actions.
"Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart... Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less. If you want to help him to correct his perception, you wait for another time. You just listen with compassion and help him to suffer less. One hour like that can bring transformation and healing."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
