Concord – The Art of Listening
January 20, 2018 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Free“I don’t need fixing or advice…I just want you to listen to me.”
Ever heard those words? Listening well has the capacity to heal. Believe it. Listening is a gift that can help someone relieve their burdens, discover deep truth, open their heart, and resolve life dilemmas. And truly effective listening requires very little effort.
But most of us have been trained to analyze, problem-solve, and compulsively try to resolve another’s issues. Although we mean well, we often end up sabotaging our conversations and relationships in an exhausting effort to “fix” the situation. (We’re not so much listening, as we are simply waiting to speak.)
And it leaves everyone feeling…well, kind of blahhh.
There is a much better, more compassionate way to listen, and you can learn the simple secrets. Join us this coming weekend for a fun, experiential introduction to conscious listening — as our free guest. Not only will this experience help you become a more supportive listener, you’ll also learn how to gently guide others to effectively support you when you desire to be heard!
