Many of us today have discovered the difference it makes when someone really listens to us. Being well listened to can be a life-changing experience, and yet sadly also one which is comparatively rare in our busy world.
This course is a way we can respond to this challenge.
Just Listen! is available on video/DVD, with an accompanying course book. It is ideally suited for use within a small group setting spread across two 2-hour sessions, and it can equally be used by an individual following it on their own. Each participant needs their own course book. The 90 minute film is divided into 6 short modules, covering subjects such as:
- Tuning In
- What kind of Listener am I?
- Developing a Listening Attitude
- Identifying Obstacles
- Doorways to Good Listening
- Ideas to Inspire You.
Two tutors are filmed leading the course with a group who are seen discussing and putting the principles into practice. There are also film clips showing different ways of using listening skills within the community. The course is interactive, can be led by anyone accustomed to facilitating a small group, and guidance for the group leader is provided in the notes.
Acorn Christian Foundation is a Christian charitable organisation which has at its heart the belief that good listening is a powerful resource for healing in our fragmented world. Acorn also provides further 'Christian Listener' courses (usually led locally by trained tutors) built on the material in Just Listen! and offer further skills-based training in reflective listening.
