Listening is a far more difficult process than most people imagine. Really to listen is to let go utterly of ourselves, to let go of all the information, all the concepts, all the ideas and all the prejudices that our heads are stuffed with.”
Sogyal Rinpoche

Deep Listening^TM is a professional training in the methods of the three core skills of advanced listening, enabling us to listen to another person in depth and open deeper channels of hearing within ourselves. Through the natural reflective awareness that we embody in Deep Listening we can hear fully and appropriately respond to all that is being said, including the subtle and unspoken communications. Using the skill of being present and mindful, we stay focused on what we immediately experience, here and now, bringing a natural wisdom and understanding into the listening field.

Deep Listening^TM draws on the person-centred framework of humanistic psychology and combines this with profound understandings of meditation and compassion drawn from the Buddhist tradition. This training is beneficial for all those who use the skill of listening in their work. Basic listening skills are not be covered in the course.

This is an experiential training and numbers are limited. Due to the demand for places immediate booking is advised.

“I had to come and back and do this training a second time because it was so good the first time. I say again that this is the best training I have ever done twice.”
Health Psychologist, Ireland

“I found experiencing the deep listening and feeling its power, its spaciousness and deep connection with the listener very beneficial.”
