WHY JOINING
In our ordinary day it’s not easy to find time and space where to connect authentically. It’s more and more difficult to listen and feel truly heard. Everything moves fast and we are often spaced out, preoccupied or distracted. We rush through circumstances and encounters without taking the time to really meet.
When we listen deeply we are present in our body, compassionate and accepting. We are there for the other as a mirror, we receive them without agreeing or disagreeing, analysing, interpreting or starting up a conversation. We just open our hearts and connect with each other, leaving our opinions and judgements aside.
THE LISTENING HOUR
The Listening Hour is an hour in which we meet to share our personal stories and to listen to others’. The whole process is facilitated by a Guide, who at the end weaves together all the stories in a common narration. By highlighting the common meaning of the stories, the Guide links our experiences suggesting that my story is your story too. As a result, we often feel belonging, connected, filled with meaning and whole.
The Listening Hour can be a support in our daily life for:
* increasing our resilience;
* releasing tensions;
* finding new insights and inspiration;
* feeling heard, seen and accepted;
* feeling the connection with others.
WHY A SPACE FOR MEN
I identify as a man. As such, I feel the need to have a space where to be mirrored by other people who identify as men.
In this cycle of meetings, we will not tackle any particular topic - such as gender, privilege or status - but we will simply co-create a safe(r) space for men to come together and listen to each other. We will follow the spontaneous flow of our personal stories and learn from their hidden wisdom.
It will be a chance to notice what happens when men gather to share their stories.
I do believe, though, that spaces of exclusion like this one are important, healthy and useful in order to to enhance our awareness on specific issues. Even if don’t work directly on those issues, they are likely to bubble up and easier to be explored in an environment as this.
DATES & TIMINGS
The group happens online and it is divided into 4 meetings of one hour. We will meet every Thursday from March 9th till March 30th 2023 at 7 PM Central Europe Time on Zoom.

By registering you’ll participate to all of the sessions, as it is meant to be the same group of people joining each meeting of the process. Limited spaces: 6 participants maximum.
This practice is based on sharing our personal stories.
