This is a complete weekend training in an advanced method that is suitable for anyone who uses listening in their work. Deep Listening skills bring embodied awareness, compassionate relationship and supportive presence directly into our contact with others, allowing deeper listening to happen naturally. This evidencebased training combines understandings from contemporary psychology with the methodology of Buddhist compassion and meditation. The power of Deep Listening to resolve difficulties and to heal and restore the speaker is experienced during the training itself.
“During these three days I reached an enormous depth of listening with my fellow participants. I am now aware of different factors that influence my ‘listening field’ and I am more aware of my own presence and my attitude as a listener.” Participant in Deep Listening for GP Trainers, the Netherlands Free University, 2014
This is an experiential training and the number of places is limited.
