Description

Attendance is required at all three sessions of this workshop, Oct. 27, 28 and Nov. 4, 5-7:30 p.m.

There is lots of talk in the world, but who is listening? And do we really know how? In this highly interactive class, attend each class to become aware of habits we unconsciously have when it comes to listening (or not). We will learn ways to quiet our minds and focus on the person speaking and then respond and ask questions to help the other person feel heard, understood, and able to go deeper into what they are sharing with us.

There is also a new focus to this popular class, "listening to differences," which is not only beneficial to one's brain health, but also that of our diverse community. Becoming more artful as a listener helps one in social interactions, builds confidence and calm within, and strengthens relationships with work, family, and friends.

Facilitated by "The Listening Lady," Marci McReynolds, former manager of the City of Bellevue Conflict Resolution Center (BCRC). This is the tenth year of collaboration between the BCRC and KCLS, and BCRC's 30th

year of serving the community.
