Deep Listening Practice Program Online program with Jaya Ashmore May 2023 Listening with ease, non-demand and curiosity has a power unlike any other. In May, Jaya is gathering an international community to practice in-depth listening in small groups. We will play with the power of listening to ourselves of course, and also to each other within the group. There is additionally the option to meet one-to-one with other group members to practice. In listening we will practice trusting embodiment, openness of heart and simplicity of mind ~ listening as an innate power that develops finesse with practice. We will also draw upon technical suggestions from listening frameworks such as Time to Think (relax and don't interrupt), Focusing (where and what do you feel in your body), and WOOP (how does inspiration move, what gets in the way and what shall we do differently). The majority of the program will be in live one-hour small-group meetings with Jaya, three or four during May. Jaya will also lead one-hour opening and closing sessions for all participants: May 5 and June 2 both at 7:30 pm CET. THE ORGANIZATIONAL SIDE... To schedule small-group times that work better for more people, we are starting out with a wider array of options (see below). We will gradually narrow the times offered as registrations come in--first come, first served. Please register early! Timings of the sessions with Jaya will depend on people's time zones...Jaya can offer Monday-Thursday at 10 or 11 am CET, Tuesdays or Thursdays at 2-3 pm CET, as well as--on 3 out of 4 weeks in May--evening times such as 7:30 pm CET. As usual, Jaya offers her time and skills in a space of reciprocity, and your financial support is fundamental to her ability to continue offering programs like these. Thank you! Registration is requested by April 21 and required by April 26. (We need to create the whole month's schedule according to your time zones.) Registration fee to Open Dharma towards organizational work: $20 - $50.
