Introduction

Facilitated by: Susan Partnow

Support and organization. Edwin Rutsch

Susan Partnow will facilitate a very experiential and introductory workshop on the Compassionate Listening Project approach. Check out Susan’s bio and learn about Compassionate Listening Project (CLP).

Susan and the CLP group have been doing this deep listening practice for a long time and do it around the world. We are fortunate to have Susan facilitate this initial prototype of their online training and we want to see how we can bring it online as well as incorporate it into the Empathy Training MOOC. Afterward, we would like feedback from participants on how to improve the online workshop. We are meeting during the Empathy Team 1 meeting times and we invite others to join us. Sign up now below to take part.

The workshop is recorded and will be use for an online training.

Technical Requirements: To take part be sure to have a computer, webcam, earbuds or headphones, a good internet connection and be in quiet location. Cell phone will not work for the connection.

FEEDBACK

Joel Berman

I Like….? the way the Zoom technology worked.

I enjoyed seeing everyone at once in gallery view and the ability to enlarge the image of the speaker of the moment. I found the chat room very effective in creating a virtual private environment that facilitated heart-based listening and speaking.

I like Susan's facilitative skills!

I liked seeing everyone's responses to Sociometry of Conflict depicted graphically on the PPT.

I Wish….? (I subsequently learned that it's possible...) that I would have removed my video image while speaking and listening to my Zoom Room partner. This is a point worth explaining in advance for future groups.
