Listening Corner

LISTENING CORNER

Have you heard this concept of “holding space” for someone? It usually refers to simply being present with someone to support them. The Listening Corner serves two purposes: one, to hold space for people to share, connect, vent, or “talk it out,” and two, to teach people how they can hold space for someone else without trying to fix or problem-solve. In joining the event, you will have the option to either be a “listener,” someone who is holding space, or a “sharer,” someone who is in need of space and support.
