3. Listening as a Tool of Liberation
Session Introduction
Listening deeply is one of the most powerful acts of compassion and liberation we can offer. In this conversation, we reflect on moments when listening has transformed us, the barriers that keep us from hearing one another, and the ways deep listening builds bridges across difference.
Guiding Questions
- When have I felt truly heard?
- When have I truly listened?
- What stops us from listening deeply across differences?

Compassionate Action
Practice deep listening this week with no agenda. Release the need to fix or persuade—listen simply to understand.
