Practice Groups provide an opportunity to learn and practice the skills of Compassionate Listening in an informal and accessible format. Generally, they are open to anyone interested: both those who have attended previous Compassionate Listening trainings and those who have not. 

 

We encourage anyone who has taken a training in Compassionate Listening to start a Practice Group as a way to promote opportunities to practice the skills in a safe way. The following documents include information about starting and managing a Practice Group. Feel free to print and use them!

 

• See the book Practicing the Art of Compassionate Listening for most of the exercises from our introductory intensive​

• Read the free Sourcebook on Compassionate Listening, with curricula from Gene Knudsen Hoffman, Compassionate Listening pioneer

• Download our Practice Group Manual

If you'd like to gain experience facilitating by leading a Practice Group or are interested in leading our body of work in other ways, you are encouraged to hire a facilitator who will mentor you to lead this work in powerful ways in the world.
