Listening as a Sacred Art and a Spiritual Practice: Honoring the Light in Each Other

Session Description:

Listening is an essential component in affirming freedom and human rights. It is through listening that we create relationships across our differences and honor the light in each other. The sacred art of listening is to become a listening presence, a way of being in which stillness and attentiveness provide the space for people to speak authentically and know they are being heard. It is from this place that we can listen across diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, and belief systems. It is about being a presence for understanding rather than for judging. When we are open, curious, and attentive to others in this way we discover a deeper, sacred connection; we are in a relationship. When we understand the art of listening we become aware that it is a key to communication in our global community. Participants gain access to this listening space through an experiential process and interacting with questions designed to open understanding of how listening transforms relationships.
