THE ART OF LISTENING (Victoria)
Thursday, Sept. 17, 4:00 (!)– 5:30 pm PT
Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion
1070 Tillicum Road, Victoria, BC
“It is only in listening that one hears the song of the words”. From The Book of Life: January3 – Beyond the noise of words
A dialogue on Listening, with an invitation to take a moment in the next conversation you have to observe how you are listening. What are you listening to? Where are you listening from?
Can you hear the song of the words?
If you are deeply interested in self-exploration for inner peace and freedom, you are welcome to join our dialogue meetings, guided by experienced facilitators passionate about self-inquiry and a shift in consciousness.
Our Facilitator: James Tousignant
I have long been fascinated by the questions “What am I?” and its companion “Why am I here?” In the dialogues and writings of J. Krishnamurti I have found a traveling companion, someone to walk alongside me and guide my exploration into the “extraordinary phenomena of human existence.”
Asking questions, deeply listening, finding out for myself, all the while refining my understanding based on my experiences has been a defining feature of my approach to living. Whether I am facilitating a class or self-inquiry meditation retreat, leading a wilderness kayaking trip off Canada’s west coast, or working co-creatively with my garden I am passionate about showing up as fully as I can in the moment to what is. For me, this is an ongoing act of awareness, presence, blessing and partnership.
As resource we will be using The Book of Life, a collection of daily meditations by J. Krishnamurti. It is available online and from us at cost for $20.
The Book of Life e-book is also freely available here and looking it over for questions to further explore in our meetings is recommended.
We recommend the readings on Listening (January 1 – 7) before our meeting.
Meetings are held on a donation basis. Your donation can be made here .
They will be held in the Boardroom of the Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion. The Pavilion is located in this beautiful park, next to a Japanese Garden.
Enter from Tillicum Road. There is ample parking next to the Pavilion.
Or take #26 bus to Tillicum at Gorge Bridge stop, with a 5 minute walk from there to the Pavilion.
One-time registration for this series is requested!
