Listening Circles Workshop 2024

Sunday, November 3 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
TBA

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/share/WbDLVurLhBb2xa3S/

Gathering in small groups within our parish community can strengthen parish relationships and help participants create time to center the sacred moments of their everyday lives. Gathering in itself is beneficial, but these gatherings can also enhance each participant’s and the group’s ability to see, hear, and understand one another as Children of God.

This workshop, led by parishioner Mary Lisa Penilla, draws on lessons adapted from narrative medicine. Workshop participants will be taught and will practice close reading skills in order to refine and bolster our abilities to listen closely to one another. Through this, we will grow in understanding, appreciation, and love for the real, diverse, unique perspectives and people alive in this communal Body of Christ.
