Dharma Talks / Workshop on Deep Listening: The Power of Presence

Br Pháp Linh

A Workshop on Deep Listening: The Power of Presence in Communication, Understanding Suffering, Compassion, Conflict Resolution, and Relationship Transformation.

As we are well aware, the pressure of achieving profound and urgent change is leading to increased anxiety and polarization in societies as well as within the climate movement. It is paradoxical, but critical, that at a time of great stress, we intentionally create the space to listen deeply to each other, reflect calmly, and renew our spirit of engagement and collaboration.

We invite you to enjoy a series of talks from the monastics of the monastery in France. Each week, we will learn new tools for personal and planetary resilience and mindfulness so we can act out of our best and most effective selves in the face of the climate challenge.

Led by the Plum Village monastics, we will cultivate an individual and collective understanding of how to deal with our deep emotions and how to call forth our most transformational capacities. Through applied mindfulness, workshops, and the radical insights of Zen, we will discover how to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act together.

This is the 5th talk published from this retreat.
