Description

Listening to the SONG of Life means listening to all of life. The word "SONG" represents four listening contexts: Self (S), Others (O), Nature (N), Goddess-God-the Divine (G). Listening to the SONG of life offers a broader, inclusive, and magnanimous view listening. The book draws on scholarship from multiple disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and includes experiential learning activities such as: meditation for cultivating attention and insight, using a listening stick for building connection and intimacy with others, grounding to root and connect with the earth, and holy listening, passage mediation, and praying in color for listening to the Divine.
