Safe spaces to listen and be heard
Listening Spaces are events that facilitate face-to-face, intentional listening and dialogue between people of different cultures, races, faiths, social class and political opinions.
Conversations and narratives on many topics are increasingly polarised, and the art of listening to people we disagree with is fading. It’s all too easy to depend on our social media feeds and stay within our bubble, casting judgement on those who see things differently.
There is a pressing need for spaces where we can meet face to face and listen to one another.
We facilitate spaces for listening and dialogue, where we can disagree well whilst holding respect for one another. This helps to build our understanding so we are better equipped to live well with difference.
Facilitated Dialogue | Events that facilitate dialogue and intentional listening between people of different views in response to current issues.
Around Sacred Texts | Small groups that meet regularly to encourage deeper connections through exploring sacred texts with one another.
Inter-Community Events | Connecting different groups to share their experience of living within the same city.
