Listen: A Practice Invitation

“We say that we know a thing when we know it not only with our physical senses, with our intellect,
but also when we engage our intuitive ways of knowing, of emotional knowledge and spiritual knowledge.
And that’s really what I mean by listening … ” ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer

What is possible when we begin to listen with all our senses?  How might listening in this nuanced way change our relationship with our own hearts, while deepening our connection to the world around us?  How might such radical listening build bridges across difference and light a path forward for our work in the world?  And is it possible that listening in this way might even help to heal what is broken in our lives and in the lives of others?

Join us in a seven-day practice that invites us to explore the many dimensions of listening and the profound ways in which it shapes a grateful orientation to life. Each day you will have the opportunity to practice listening with more than just your ears and to more than simply sound, and, in the process, to deepen awareness of how you relate to yourself, others, and life as a whole. Learning to tune in wholeheartedly, we discover how embodied listening helps us lean into subtlety, complexity, and difficulty – all that we might not actively seek to hear – in service of the connection and healing we long for.

Here is how the practice will work:

1. Beginning on Tuesday, September 15 and continuing for seven consecutive days you will receive an email with a link to the day’s suggested practice.
2. The pages for each day’s offering and reflections will remain available to you after the practice ends, so you can revisit them at your leisure.
3. Registration is FREE and will close Monday, September 14 at 3 PM, EDT.
4. Once signed up, you will receive your first email on Tuesday, September 15.

NOTE: Registration for this practice is now closed. If you would like to learn about future practices and additional offerings, please subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

Thank you!

With grateful hearts,
