Description: This two-part course will teach participants to use the skills of mindful listening as a foundation for more productive conversations around race and social justice. The presenters will guide the participants through different scenarios in large and small group settings, demonstrating how “everyday” listening differs from mindful listening, so that participants understand how and when mindful listening should be chosen as the right conversational tool. Through practice, participants will gain confidence in using the mode of mindful listening to formulate responses that promote trust; drive a conversation forward; and finally, allow the listener to express their own viewpoints in a meaningful way.
