Dates: March 6, 2015 – March 8, 2015 Price: $375 – $450

According to St. John of the Cross, listening is God’s first language.  In the fast-paced culture we live in, speaking has become our first language. We spend hours preparing to speak but little time towards listening. This workshop focuses on the power of Sacred Listening–the art of becoming a listening presence. As we open up to listening as a spiritual practice, we find it transforms our relationships, nurtures our inner voice and inspires our spiritual growth.
