___________________________________
One way to think of the value of a Global MindShift online workshop is that it helps create a space for deep contemplation, in turn impacting how we interact with the world.
By consciously integrating the subject of the workshop into our daily lives, every-day experiences take on new significance and meaning. Life becomes a never-ending environment for learning...and for discovering our capacity to love.
In this one-week workshop we'll talk about what it means to listen, why it's important, and how we can learn to do it better. We'll also commit during the week to listen more deeply to those around us, and to share what we are discovering.

Moving from conversation into action:
As you go about your daily lives this week...
- Be mindful of the opportunities that present themselves for you to listen, and observe how you respond.
- See if you can find someone to talk to, and give them your complete attention for 20 or 30 minutes (or more, if you want). What was the experience like? What did you learn?
