Evolve Fest

Do you know the difference between hearing and listening? Have you been told you don't listen? Would you like to be a better listener? In this session, we will practice deep listening - not just for the words, and what they mean... but more … This is a practice circle where there is no teacher other than life itself. We want to listen better because listening is about information, knowledge, and wisdom. Listen because your life depends on it. Without deep listening, we cannot be there for our beloved. Deep listening connects, heals, and is love. We want to love deeply... feel deeply… so let's listen. Listen deeply. Let's listen with our heart.
