Welcome to Hearing4Healing
Hearing for Healing
Many of us are taught how to communicate, either in written or spoken language: public speaking, presentations, and writing letters, emails, and essays. Yet rarely are we taught to listen, especially when emotions are high. We are also not taught how to seek understanding without clouding the message with our own preferences, biases, and limited understanding of ourselves and our world. It’s no surprise that the chasms between us seem to keep growing despite our best intentions.
In the Hearing4Healing module, we seek to bridge the chasms that divide us by helping us all learn to listen deeply. In this 6 part module, you will learn about the barriers and opportunities for deep listening, observe role plays, and begin your own listening practice.
