I hope this FPF post doesn't arouse the same level of controversy over the last free workshop I wrote about! Happiness isn't in the title this time, so maybe I'm okay! This week's free workshop is titled, "Mindful Listening: A Creative and Magnetic Force." It is led by my friend and mediation colleague Kathleen Moore, and is part of a series we put together called "Charting a Happier Path in a Chaotic World." All the workshops are one hour long at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, and they are all free. This one is on Tuesday, August 5th at noon. Here's how Kathleen describes it: "Mindful listening nourishes both the speaker and the listener. When people listen to what we say – and we, in turn, listen to others -- we experience a satisfying expansion and together become highly creative. It is this creative force that enables insights and ideas to spring within us and come to life. This workshop will give participants an opportunity to experience this dynamic practice."

I hope to see some of my Calais friends there this week!
