Poor listening leads to misunderstandings
and lost opportunities.
Learning to listen well requires
spiritual practice.
It happens at work and at home; with
strangers and close friends; in heated debates and in quiet
conversations--we hear someone speaking, but we don't truly
listen.
Kay Lindahl’s highly respected
workshops are attended by people from a broad range of
backgrounds. Her first book, The
Sacred Art of Listening, has been
published to acclaim in North America, Europe, and Asia. Now
she offers practical, easy-to-follow advice and exercises to
enhance your capacity to listen in a spirit-filled way. Using
examples from her own life and her work as a teacher of the
sacred art of listening, Lindahl explores the nature and use of
silence, reflection, and divine presence as foundational
qualities of listening and shows you how you can apply these in
your everyday life.
This valuable workshop-in-a-book examines
the varied ways we are called to deep listening, including:
• Contemplative listening
• Reflective listening
• Heart listening
• Listening in groups
• Listening in conversations
• And more…
You will find yourself inspired to
discover how different your conversations will be when you stop
just talking and start really listening.
