Reflective Listening Buddies is a powerful way to practice conscious compassionate presence. It is an opportunity to show up each week for yourself and a fellow Sangha member. In a safe non-judgmental environment, it is a chance to be truly heard.

what is reflective listening?

Reflective listening is the art and skill of paying attention to what the speaker is saying and reflecting back what they said in their exact words.

Listen to an example of reflective listening.

how it works:

• Sign up for the quarter.
• Attend the training call to learn how the program works.
• Submit the practice commitments for the program.
• You will be assigned a buddy.
• Set up a weekly call-time with your buddy.
• The call lasts 30 minutes and happens every week of the quarter.
• You and your buddy alternate making calls.
