After two decades of organizing Compassionate Listening delegations to Israel and Palestine, we feel that it is time to bring deep and respectful listening, Compassionate Listening, to our own painfully polarized country. Being a good listener is not always easy, even in the best of times. Listening deeply to someone with whom we are in conflict is even more difficult; yet, it is the key to understanding, reconciliation, and peace.

A New Compassionate Listening Journey:
Listening with the Heart in Alabama
October 8-16, 2020
As racial tension and political polarization intensify around us, we clearly see the importance of continuing what we started in January of this year: Compassionate Listening Journeys to the Deep South. As we prepare ourselves for our second Journey in October, we recommit to our three-fold purpose: to build our skill of deep, empathic listening even in difficult conversations; to engage in our own self-reflection about our own biases, conscious and unconscious; and to live the healing practice of Compassionate Listening.
We invite you to join us by participating in this Journey to listen, learn, engage in anti-bias work, and to build relationships with our fellow Americans.
Leadership Team:
Compassionate Listening facilitators: Yael Petretti, Journey founder and Debby Haase co-leader.
Intrinsic bias training with Dr. Will Osmun
