Listening to the Invisible: A 2-Year Immersion in Relational Presence and Embodied Leadership

Event Overview

This training is an opportunity to be part of a 2-year journey and emergent movement in deep listening, partnership with nature, and post-patriarchal relational leadership. Facilitation is a living practice, a calling, an art, and a form of embodiment. It is a path of respect and reverence for the mystery. Listening to the Invisible will empower you to skillfully guide Relational Mindfulness for groups and one-on-one. It will also call you forth to deeper healing and transformation within yourself. This is not merely training, but a sacred container for personalized growth and conscious response to the times we are facing.

Each of you are unique. As part of our community learning, each of you will be called to inquire compassionately and courageously in distinctive ways, to shed old ways of being and perceiving, and to embrace your connection with the earth and the medicine you carry more fully on behalf of our collective.

This training invites you to embrace the mystery – through listening to the invisible. We will work with the wisdom that knowing less is knowing more and that getting out of the way is the path of freedom, unity, and wholehearted service.

Drawing from the teachings of Buddhism, engaged mindfulness, earth-based practices, and the wisdom of the natural world, this training empowers people to live and facilitate the 9 principles of Relational Mindfulness, which carry personal, interpersonal, transpersonal, ecological, mystical, and societal implications. What awakens within and through us when we are willing to listen more deeply to ourselves, to one another, to our earth bodies, and to the elemental and more-than-human world? What re-awakens when we are willing to listen from the ground of Being rather than doing?
