The "Deep Listening" Big Questions group is starting up again!

This group explores the big questions of life in a calm atmosphere devoted to learning how to truly listen to each other. There is no interruption, no arguing. We allow a few breaths of silence after every response so that we may focus on the person's words, rather than be distracted by mentally composing our response. Everyone is invited to speak from their own experience, when they are moved to do so.

We invite you to experience this with us!

If you have any questions, please contact Joanna Crawford - BigQuestion@nwcuuc.org

"Deep listening is really being with another. You're in a state of presence where your mind is not cluttered with past judgments or thoughts of the future. You feel no urgency or impatience, and you let go of beliefs and prejudices you may have about the other person. It's like listening casually to your favorite music, the sound of a rushing stream or a bird singing. You're not analyzing or figuring it out, you're simply letting the feelings and sounds affect you." -- Joseph Bailey
