Listening is an art. It takes practice to listen deeply to ourselves and to the people and world around us. With so much noise and chaos coming at us, taking time to pause and listen fortifies our hearts and our well-being.
Come join WholeHeart Inc. & the Richmond Free Library for a three-hour session of listening practices, reflection, and small group sharing to connect with your own wisdom and with community.
The next session in this monthly series is Saturday, Feb. 1. 9-12 - Embodied Listening: through guided sensory exploration, we will listen from the body to what arises within us. We will engage in a wordless dialogue that supports our vitality, insight, and wonder through connecting deeply with the natural world within and around us. Co-facilitated by Malia Matteson and Holly Wikinson. Malia Matteson is a naturalist, activist, dancer, guide, artist, teacher and avid non-expert in a wide array of subjects. Building bridges of discovery and remembrance between things long divided makes her heart sing. Malia works as a clinician at Lund Family Center where she leads groups in nature therapy, expressive arts, and Nia. Holly is a long-time convenor of circles, a certified Courage & Renewal facilitator and Executive Director of WholeHeart. Committed to reweaving the world with care and connection, Holly is an active apprentice to a variety of listening traditions.
Bring a friend and begin the weekend on a solid & spacious note. Please register today to hold your spot. This series is an introduction to WholeHeart's offerings and is offered in the spirit of the gift economy. We welcome the contribution of your presence and, if possible, financial support towards costs. See you soon!
