What is listening? And why is it important?

True listening is the ability to momentarily suspend everything I think I know, all my thoughts and judgments about the current situation and simply be with what is happening.

This pause can allow something new to be born.
New thoughts, new insights, a new connection with people in my life (relationship, family, community, work) - which could not have been created without the deep listening.

​

And this type of listening can be learned.
For the most part, this is not something we encounter on a daily basis - usually our discourse is a very reactive discourse, one in which there is a ping-pong between the speaker and the listener and vice versa. But it is possible otherwise.

​

In a workshop of 7 sessions, we will practice the ability to listen to myself and others in a new way, and also the ability to look at the things that live in me and express myself in an authentic, honest, and focused way.
You are welcome to experiment and see how it resonates in your life.
