About this Event
After a magical and successful unfolding and completion of one year of The Listening Circle, we are back with Summer series 2024. The first year of TLC was embarced by many diverse voices, sharing poetry and music honoring personal journeys as well as discoveries of the underlying profoundness of life's experiences infused with healing and a boon. The community came together with deliberate intentions of co creating a safe space for radical vulneribility, deep listening and creative expression.
This Summer series 2024 is an invitation to the spoken word artists, poets, storytellers, songwriters, acoustic musicians and listeners to come join us in yet another whimsical journey.
Sign up starts at 4:30 pm and readings/ performances at 5:00 to 6:30pm. Spots are limited. Pre registration is required.

From The Listening Circle summer series 2023.
My experience with the Listening Circle has been quite an expansive process. Syra as a facilitator is just amazing with her sense of being while holding space for the group. She made it such a safe environment for me to explore and access parts of me that I didn't think I could. My performance have become better and this experience of beauty and grace, I will take with me in my growth journey. Thank you. I look forward to more adventures to come.

The Listening Circle by Banyen Books led by Syra had been absolutely life changing. The space is incredibly welcoming, unconditionally accepting and utterly up-lifting. It has been a privilege to attend and participate in the circle and meet all the wonderful humans who have attended. I have grown immensely as a person and as an artist. I am so grateful for the space to share my work. I am excitedly looking forward to more events to come.
