The Listening Society - Generating Collective Wisdom Together

The Listening Society refers to a desired future society where welfare extends beyond basic material needs to encompass psychological and social well-being. It emphasizes sincere communication, deeper understanding, and the inclusion of everyone's needs and perspectives.

The key components include a focus on psychological and emotional needs, a move towards acceptance rather than mere tolerance, and a political system that fosters cooperation and co-development.

When we create relationally safe spaces and become more trusting of one another, we uncover deeper visions that we cannot generate alone. That is why we form small gatherings of people curious about working at a different level – exploring what it means to bring the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (Plato) into how we engage with one another during these challenging times.

We are people from all different beliefs who aren't afraid to speak about love, wisdom, and courage as actual forces for change. We honor both the rational mind and the longing of our hearts, recognizing the delightful power of collective wisdom.

Collective wisdom is about creating the embodied relational conditions where the group's collective intelligence can emerge as a greater resource. This requires participants who are integrated enough to show up authentically, present enough to attune to group dynamics, and regulated enough to maintain safety when challenging truths arise.

This requires listening to others at a level that goes beyond concepts and personalities to touch something more fundamental in each other. In doing so, we discover new insights and pathways toward greater social and political health.

This is for people who want to learn how to sit with complexity and still choose love. People who can hold both the heartbreak of our current moment and the reality that something new is emerging. For those who are ready, this can offer a way to live out your truth and help deliver what our world needs most right now.

Let's gather as curious, open, and imaginative people ready to participate in something both ancient and utterly new. Trust what's stirring in your heart – it may be exactly what the world needs.

Please rsvp and we will contact you about meetings. Thanks!
