About
Welcome to the Radical Listening Course You also gain access to our lovely Sanctuary Community where you can join the peer to peer community, practice listening skills and be supported both personally and in your learning. We have a monthly Zoom session and a wonderful outdoor listening circle around a fire for those of you who can come to Manchester. We are also planning retreats which you will be invited to join Listening is simple, yet deeply radical. In a world full of noise, urgency, and distraction, the practice of slowing down and truly listening - to ourselves first, and then to others - becomes a quiet act of transformation. This course takes you step by step through that journey. Together, we’ll explore: What listening really is – and why it always begins with ourselves. Cultivating curiosity – softening judgment and opening to possibility. The art of noticing – slowing down enough to catch the subtleties within and around us. Connection and compassion – learning to relate to our inner parts with gentleness. Choice and space – discovering the power to respond rather than react. Extending to others – offering presence without agenda, a rare gift that builds trust. Along the way you’ll learn practical skills, simple exercises, and embodied practices to help you bring more calm, compassion, and clarity into your daily life and relationships. Listening in this way doesn’t just change conversations. It changes lives, starting with your own.
