Online Workshop with Professor Phillip Glenn

Wednesday, June 24th
12:00 - 1:00PM

Our lives have changed! We spend less time with some people and more with others, less in physical presence and more on video. Political and ideological disagreements take on heightened intensity. Human connection, never easy under the best of circumstances, faces increased disruption and challenge.

How do we help support our loved ones through these difficult times? How do we work through conflicts with those around us? How do we overcome alienation and frustration? In this workshop we will focus on listening and communicating with compassion. We will explore an empathic stance, remaining open to the feelings and needs we all experience. We will explore essential practices for empathic listening, such as inquiring, formulating, and reflecting feelings. We will explore ways of speaking that replace judgment and criticism with expression of what’s most important to us. The session will involve practice.
