The Listening Squad dreams of a listening revolution, where every person is heard. We imagine a world where we deeply listen to ourselves and one another.

Yet over the last few years, I have been stirred by so many conversations with people about our biz name. As soon as they hear it, they say: "I'm such a bad listener." And yet, in the midst of our chat I have felt so heard by them in their unique way. Somehow, over time, we have developed a fixed view of what listening looks like. And as a result, we live without awareness of our beautiful listening way.

So The Listening Way is a love letter to listening. It is a podcast that uncovers the different ways that we listen and invites us to practice them again.

Over the season, The Listening Way holds contemplative conversations with people about how listening shapes their way of being in the world. We explore the role of listening in our connection to ourselves, one another and our shared humanity. Always asking the question, what's your listening way.

The Listening Way will be launching on Friday 16th April! I'm so excited to share it with you. Together, let's reclaim the lost art of listening.
