Aanmelden

This three-day course in Deep Listening an Existential Concerns is for anyone who has completed 4 days of our Deep Listening training.  (2-days Deep Listening Essentials plus 2-days Deep Listening Practice.)

Existential concerns arise in the following five human life situations:

-Impermanence and Death - limitations in life
-Meaning and Meaninglessness
-Freedom, Responsibility and Agency
-Isolation
-Emotions, Experience and Embodiment  

Identified by the European philosophical tradition, these existential concerns are described as part of the human condition. These concerns can arise at any time in our life, providing an opportunity to deepen our understanding of and connection to life while at the same time often creating experiences of vulnerability and uncertainty. Although this is a natural part of human existence, these situations can impact us deeply. Ongoing experiences of isolation, impermanence, lack of freedom, or meaninglessness, for example, seem difficult to change and can lead to crisis.

Reflecting on these, through a process of deep listening, can help us to find how to live more easily with these concerns, often leading to greater meaning in our life and well-being. As a deep listener, we can use this experience of listening to these concerns within ourselves, to see how we can support others meeting these same challenges in their lives. 
This will be a rich field of exploration for us in our Advanced Deep Listening Group, which we will do through a variety of exercises, discussions and meditations.
