Event Details

This workshop is highly recommended for people who have completed a
Compassionate Listening Basic or Intensive Workshop.
However, everybody who is drawn to this workshop is welcome to participate!


In Compassionate Listening, we teach a set of practices designed to help people access the wisdom of their heart. Our practices are particularly useful in challenging situations, where we tend to feel the most “reactive” – and often the least able to access our full wisdom and power.

In this new workshop, you will learn ways to harness the wisdom of your body to help you “show up” in the world with courage and clarity. Integrating head, heart and body helps bring all sources of our intelligence to bear in challenging situations.

 In Japanese, the word hara refers both to the belly and to the qualities of character that emerge as a person activates the life force concentrated in the belly.  A "person of hara" is said to be one who lives with creativity, courage, confidence, purpose, integrity, and endurance.

Join us for this exploration as you experience body-centered practices to enhance the five core practices we teach in our traditional Compassionate Listening workshops. 

Andrea Cohen is a communications consultant, project developer, and certified Compassionate Listening facilitator who has been involved with The Compassionate Listening Project since its inception.

The Compassionate Listening Project



The Compassionate Listening Project, founded by Leah Green, grew out of the work of Gene Knudsen Hoffman, a Quaker and international peacemaker. Our formal training program, in existence for approximately ten years, is aimed at deepening people's ability to listen with an open heart in difficult situations and learning to humanize those we consider "other". We are grateful to the many people we have learned from over the years who have helped make Compassionate Listening the profound practice it is today.
