YES -- this is the sort of movement we need. I have been part of The Compassionate Listening Project for many years...and listening to people's stories is exactly what we do, from a deep place of love and compassion. We believe 'an enemy is someone whose story you haven't heard,' as expressed by Jean Knudsen Hoffman, our mentor. So part of this movement is alive and well and we invite all of you to join us -- for trainings, practice groups, and a community of compassionate listeners. Check us out: www.compassionatelistening.org
We are primarily in the USA (based in the Northwest) but also have worked in the Middle East and Germany and have practitioners in many places in the world...
