"...what do we need to fully show up and dig in?

We need space, we need commitment, we need intention."

Let's start with "why"

Good things happen when we listen to each other

We lift each other up with the power of listening! Women's Listening Space exists to make it easy for you to
meet women who also understand that listening is a unique way to support yourself and others.

Interconnection is strength

The 'jogging buddy' effect is real and worth harnessing. The ideal of 'going it alone' no longer serves us. 
Our individuality thrives more, not less, when we grasp and work with the reality that we are interconnected.

Improving your life = Improving our world

In the spirit of mutual benefit, we understand that care for self, others, and Earth are inseparable.
We are part of humanity's practical movement towards personal and collective well-being -- and joy!

  What do we do together? Listening sessions.

Always virtual (phone or video). Always one-on-one.
Listening sessions have a simple and flexible structure. A standard 60-minute session has four parts: 

 Listening sessions can be adapted to fit your schedule and interests. For example, you and your listening partner can both write for a set amount of time and then take equal turns sharing.     

Every listening session is a path of choices and discoveries

During your turn to be heard 
you choose:

Testimonials

A few examples of what women say about their listening sessions: 

"I get a sense of wholeness and cohesiveness when I am speaking to someone and I know I am being heard and seen.... It’s hard to verbalize because it is an experience."

​

"The way this person shared with me inspired me to want to cultivate myself.

"I can just sit there spinning my wheels, but if I have someone I can say 'hey, I have this idea' to, then that helps me make much more sense of what's in my head."
