Women of Spirit and Faith Announces a Special Event www.WomenOfSpiritAndFaith.org     Women of Spirit and Faith Co-Founder Kay Lindahl will be featured on the Parliament of the World’s Religions Webinar Series The Sacred Art of Listening Wednesday, April 11, 2012 10 am U.S. Central Time This webinar focuses on the power of sacred listening: the art of becoming a listening presence, someone who can truly hear what the other is saying. To become that presence takes practice, not only to listen to others, but also to listen to ourselves and to listen to God. Just as we take time to write, practice, and polish a speech in preparing to talk, there is value in learning how to practice preparing to listen. We will explore three types of practices in this webinar: cultivating silence, slowing down to reflect, and becoming present.   The quality of our listening can make a profound difference in any conversation. It is a sacred art and a spiritual practice. As we open our hearts to deep, attentive listening, we find it transforms all our relationships, nurtures our inner voice, and inspires our spiritual growth.   REGISTER HERE for the live webinar … or enjoy the archived webinar at a later time Here.     Kay Lindahl is a Certified Listening Professional and the founder of The Listening Center.
