In a world where we often speak more than we listen, Listening Circle is our invitation to slow down, open our hearts, and truly connect.
Listening Circle is a GQPF initiative that creates a safe and intentional space for open, respectful, and empathetic conversations. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, want to share your lived experiences, or just need to be heard — this is a place for you.
Listening Circle is a 60-minute online gathering where participants come together on Zoom to share thoughts, concerns, and reflections on topics that matter to them. It's a space free of judgment, where active listening, mutual respect, and genuine connection take center stage.
Whether you're queer, questioning, or an ally — everyone is welcome.
🧠 Emotional Well-being
Speaking your truth in a supportive environment can be deeply healing. Knowing someone is truly listening makes all the difference.
🫂 Building Empathy
When we listen to each other’s stories, we begin to understand experiences beyond our own — creating space for compassion, not comparison.
🌍 Creating Community
These circles bring together people from different backgrounds, helping build bridges of solidarity and belonging.
Encourage open and respectful dialogue where participants feel safe to express themselves.
Foster empathy and understanding by practicing non-judgmental listening.
Strengthen community bonds through shared stories and mutual support.
