The Topic

In this webinar, Hetty will explore listening as a radical and spiritual act within organisations and communities. She will examine how being truly heard — and offering deep attention in return — can create transformation at both personal and collective levels. Drawing on therapeutic and leadership practice, she will consider attunement, presence and witnessing as foundations for soulful work. Participants will reflect on how listening can restore dignity and meaning in professional spaces. The session will invite a slowing down and a rediscovery of relational attention.

The Agenda

In the first half of the webinar, Hetty will make his presentation and facilitate initial responses.

In the second half, we'll move into a reflection-application session:

- 'Composting': experienced peers work the material in small groups to sprout new ideas;

- 'Weaving': attendees gather to collectively reflect and question, weaving our experiences together;

- Discuss how we will apply learnings to our personal practice and living in a plenary.
