Deep Listening Skills for Seminarians
April 29 2:30 – 5:00 PM
Rm. 207 Union Theological Seminary
One of the central roles of any ministry is the ability to be fully present with another person’s sorrow, joy, anxiety, doubt, grief, or fear. This ability to be present requires deep listening. Listening comes through intention, but also through skill.
Deep Listening Skills for Seminarians will help you sharpen your listening skills for universal application: with congregants, with colleagues, with church leadership, with the wider community, as well as with your own loved ones. Deep listening will help you be in right-relationship with those important to your life and your life’s work.
This highly interactive workshop will include:
· Group discussions and activities
· Live demonstrations
· Large and small group practice sessions
Jeff Levy-Lyons will lead the workshop. Jeff (who is married to a Unitarian Universalist minister Rev. Ana Levy-Lyons) has conducted communication skills trainings in Fortune 500 corporations, not-for-profits, and UU churches over the past 18 years. He has also taught relationship skills for couples and done private coaching in presentation skills for executives.
Please RSVP to Rev. Lissa Gundlach
