Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership

In this 2-session series, we will discuss and practice deep listening skills that will foster empathy and mutual understanding so that we can connect beyond our ideological differences and fully recognize each other’s humanity. We will practice radical presence, curiosity, and humility, and learn how to listen for feelings and values, beyond and behind the words. We will bear witness to each other’s stories and truths and hold them with care. Listening in this way moves us closer to each other, facilitates healing, and restores wholeness. This type of listening, though challenging, is the key to healing our divided world.
