The stresses of living in this society, with its marked inequality and political enmity, can make it hard to continue in our desired roles as peacemakers, bridge-builders, and agents for positive change. How do we deal with anxiety, anger, resentment, and all the other challenging feelings that come our way, without burning out?
Many of us turn to addictions (binge-watching Netflix, anyone?), or we lower our sights and settle for less than what we started out wanting to do. There is a better way. In this class, we will learn and practice a simple approach to creating Listening Partnerships that can support us to navigate the stresses of our lives and work in healthy and joyful ways.
You will learn:
- How to listen in a truly useful way, and why this kind of listening is rare
- How to make the most of being heard by a trusted listening partner
- How we can direct our attention in useful ways, and away from the rabbit-holes of discouragement and other painful feelings
- How to set up listening partnerships with friends and others in our lives
