SUMMARY:Transformational Listening Series- 4 Sessions covering the Basics of JUST Listening
DESCRIPTION:This JUST Listening series teaches skills for building relationships grounded in trust\, empathy\, and understanding. Over the course of 4 sessions\, participants learn about common communication challenges\, cultivate awareness of ego-driven behaviors\, and practice skills for listening with intention\, and responding with humility and curiosity. \nOur methodology is grounded in self-reflection and awareness based-systems change. We provide weekly self-reflection activities to encourage self-awareness of personal communication challenges and emphasize the importance of micro-practices-small\, intentional actions that\, when practiced consistently\, lead to transformational change.  \nSessions provide an overview of relevant research on human behavior and neurobiology as well as opportunities to practice listening and communication skills in a caring environment. Participants leave with practical tools for building relationships\, supporting decision-making\, and responding peacefully in the context of conflict. \nThe workshop will be delivered in a series of four 1.5-hour online sessions taking place Wednesdays from 10am-11:30am EST. \nWhat We’ll Cover: \n\nMay 6 – Session 1: What Gets in the Way of Our Listening? : Empathy\, Othering\, & Perception  \n\nThe physiology of empathy & othering\nUnderstanding how our empathy is activated\nThe role of empathy and primal brain responses in our current context \nTools & Micro-practices for reflection rather than reactivity\n\n\n\n\nMay 13 – Session 2:  Listening Filters \n\nOverview of the Listening Filters that distort what we hear\nTools & Contemplative Micro-practices for Overcoming Listening Hurdles\nOpportunities to practice cultivating awareness of filters\n\n\n\n\nMay 20 – Session 3: From Division to Dialogue\n\nResearch about the emotional and psychological aspects connected to beliefs and values\nTools for turning down the temperature in heated conversations and connecting on a deeply human level\, even amidst disagreement.\nTools for engaging perspectives that differ from our own and expressing our own views effectively\, transforming potentially divisive encounters into meaningful exchanges.\n\n\n\n\nMay 27 – Session 4: Responding Wholeheartedly to Others\n\nThe importance of knowing what conversation we are in\nGuidelines for engaging in dialogue\nOpen and Strategic questioning- tools for supporting decision making without imposing our ego
