Practising 3 levels and 7 qualities in helping conversations
From listening well to listening deeply — holding the picture of the water lily, from what shows on the surface of a conversation to what lives underneath.
Integrates the ability to listen reflectively and perceive the other on 3 levels (thinking, feeling and intention), which was the main theme in Communications skills. Now we aim to develop Empathic Listening or Deep Listening skills. Related to the Thinking, Feeling and Will/Intention we enhance Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition. We aim to hold open spaces and form open questions in working with others. We apply planetary qualities to assess and enrich encounters.
Pre-requisite is the Communication Skills module.
