Advanced Deep Listening continues to offer opportunities to practice the skills of Deep Listening, by compassionately holding space with embodied awareness while listening to another and also to ourself. These are ways to bring greater clarity and insight into the listening relationship for both the Speaker and the Listener.

The method of Awareness Centered Deep Listening Training (ACDLT®) was developed by Rosamund Oliver in 2003.

The three core skills of this method - embodied awareness, supportive presence and compassionate connection - are explored personally with participants throughout the course in an experiential and interactive way. We also use meditation and reflection to deepen our experiences of embodied compassionate communication. A key focus throughout is integration by using practical ways to bring this into your work and in everyday life. The course is presented in English and the listening exercises take place in your own language, either Dutch or English.

Topics covered during the course include:

• Experiencing directly and profoundly the dynamics taking place in communication between Speaker and Listener, verbal and non-verbal.
• Using the Deep Listening method in difficult and complicated situations.
• Using Deep Listening in large and small groups.
• Fresh meditations to deepen embodiment and compassion when listening.
• Exploring the power of vulnerability which is often hidden in listening.
• Ways of offering non-judgemental advice when deep listening.
