50] – On Sat., Nov. 4 at 8:30 AM at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, 740 North Calvert St., Baltimore, hear from Sharon Browning on the subject of Just Listening—Foundation and Going Deeper. She will do Part I (for newcomers and those who want a refresher) and Part II, which will explore additional tools and techniques to enhance your listening skills. How can our collaborative activities yield dynamic results? What would our personal lives, workplaces, and social institutions look like if we listened deeply and profoundly and without ego to each other’s ideas, insights, experiences, and longings? One definition of justice is “right relationship.” The work of JUST Listening is to foster “right relationships” for individual empowerment, workplace cohesion and effectiveness, inspired leadership, and ultimately, the Common Good.
As our communities and planet continue suffering from injustice, hate, and dis-ease, we are now experiencing intense political divisiveness and strained public discourse. For effective discourse, listening – deep listening – is required. In fact, it is a crucial act of justice. The cost is $10 for the first session, and $25 for the full program. This is sponsored by Murphy Initiative for Justice and Peace, 1001 West Joppa Road, Baltimore 21204. Go to www.pfmjpi.org.
