We believe making change starts with skillful listening. When we feel heard or seen, we're more open to hearing others.  We all have this innate ability but in our high-speed world it requires some practice and some space to slow down and understand how to activate our natural capacity to listen.  

Please join us for an introductory exploration and training on the powerful practice of active embodied listening.  In this zoom session, we will learn about and explore active listening based on nonviolent communication and resonant empathy with guidance and support from a facilitator.

We will be:

-learning to hold each other's experience with care and deep understanding
-developing a framework for understanding human communication through embodied needs and feeling
-understanding our nervous system and how we can ground to establish a base of listening
-developing foundations of embodied listening
-understanding blocks to empathy
-building a safe container to explore and cultivate active listening
For more information on the practice visit our website and/or Facebook page.

The training will be facilitated by Brother Man (Man means Fulfillment in Vietnamese). Brother Man was ordained as a Buddhist Monk by Thich Nhat Hanh at Plum Village. He's currently training in Somatic Experiencing, loves learning, and integrating wisdom from many streams: Interpersonal Neurobiology, Non-violent Communication and the Christian tradition.

All are welcome.
