How do we develop our capacity to listen deeply in an increasingly diverse and often divisive world? Learning to listen well begins by devoting more of our attention to the conversation happening within us. As renowned poet Walt Whitman reminds us, we hold multitudes. During this year’s One World Listening gathering, we will explore the wisdom of Internal Family Systems as we practice listening from the inside out to more of the parts, voices and stories we hold within us.
