Lesson 1

What Are You Listening To?

This first lesson focuses on uncovering the hidden barriers that prevent you from truly hearing others. Do you find yourself distracted by your thoughts—planning what to say next, making judgments, or letting your mind wander to unrelated topics? This lesson will help you become aware of these tendencies and recognize how they appear in your daily interactions. Through reflection and practical insights, you’ll notice the internal and external noise that competes for your attention, laying the foundation for more mindful and intentional listening.

Lesson 2

From Disconnected To Connected Listening

Now it’s time to explore the habits and patterns that create disconnection in our listening. Often, we unintentionally block deeper connection by jumping to conclusions, waiting for our turn to speak, or assuming we already know the answers. This lesson will help you identify these well-intentioned but unhelpful tendencies and show you how to shift toward a more open and curious approach. By creating space for neutrality and presence, you’ll learn how to foster meaningful conversations that feel more connected and authentic.

Lesson 3

The Power Of Presence In Connected Listening

In this lesson, we’ll focus on the transformative power of presence in listening. Deep listening happens when you let go of assumptions, judgments, and distractions, creating space for curiosity and understanding. This lesson will guide you in cultivating a deeper sense of presence, allowing you to be fully engaged in conversations. You’ll discover how to listen with openness and neutrality, fostering trust and connection while letting go of your own stories. Practicing connected listening will create an environment where meaningful communication and mutual understanding can thrive.

Lesson 4

A Pocket Of Peace: Reflecting On The Art Of Listening

In this final lesson, I invite you to pause, reflect, and integrate everything you’ve explored throughout this course. This is your moment to create a pocket of peace—a space to notice any insights, lightbulb moments, or shifts in awareness that have emerged. As you sit with what you’ve learned, allow yourself to recognize how these new perspectives on listening can enrich your conversations and deepen your connections. Whether it’s a subtle realization or a profound takeaway, this reflection will help you carry the art of listening into your daily life with greater intention and presence.

While I’m familiar with concepts of listening through previous experiences, my training as a psychiatrist and even courses here on Insight Timer, it’s easy to slip, refreshment is vital plus there’s always something new to learn! I love Jacqueline’s style-her care and brightness with a touch of lovely humor also shines through. Thank you for this course, I look forward to more! 🙏🏼
