Healing our World from the Inside Out: Compassionate Listening

Event Overview

Like the Work That Reconnects, Compassionate Listening begins with the heart — and with the conviction that how we relate to one another is inseparable from how we heal the world.

In these times of fracture and uncertainty, when rage and despair are never far away, Compassionate Listening offers practical, embodied skills for staying open: to ourselves, to those we love, to those we struggle with, and to the larger web of life we share. This is medicine for the heart — and a form of mutual aid for our communities.

In this five-session experiential workshop, you will practice:

• Cultivating and holding compassion for yourself and others
• Developing the Fair Witness — seeing clearly, without judgment or blame
• Maintaining balance in the heat of conflict, with respect for self and others
• Listening and speaking from the heart, even across deep difference

This is not a one-time training. It is a practice — one that deepens each time you return to it, just as the spiral of the Work That Reconnects deepens with each turn.

Whether you are new to this work or returning for another layer, you are welcome in the circle.
