Co-convened by Mary Elaine Kiener and Cecily Victor
In this workshop, co-conveners Mary Elaine Kiener and Cecily Victor will invite an interactive exploration of how to bring the Art of Convening into the “real world” of everyday life. In particular, this encompasses those circumstances and environments in which convening is not an explicitly shared cultural value and/or practice.
Mary Elaine and Cecily will briefly share instances from their own lived experiences and offer a few brief exercises to illustrate the power of pausing to invite freshness in conversations with others, create space for instances of “natural” felt-sensing to emerge and invite new possibilities that may arise from spacious listening.
