a way to pause and take a breath and a way to connect with others through sharing stories.The Listening Hour Circle is a way to pause and take a breath and a way to connect with others through sharing stories.
These days when we talk about stories, we are usually talking about a newspaper story or a literary short story. But here we mean something different—a true story that comes from our own experience. We remember moments that are meaningful to us, whether they are about hard times or good. If we can really be open to what comes up for us to share at the moment, sometimes we are really surprised in a positive way, and what we have to say is often interesting and memorable for others as well.
The experience is designed to be connective and to allow us a way to pause in our day.
What is in your heart that you would like to share? Listening Hour Circles are intentionally done in small groups.
