This Sunday, Rev Mike Adamek joined us to begin exploring our theme for October: "Deep Listening." Mike talked about active listening - i.e. asking questions and replying so that the speaker knows they are being heard. Then he went on to say that is not the same as deep listening, where you listen to what is not being said in addition to what is being said. Good counselors do this by considering the context of the situation. Mike continued with the concept of deep listening by describing listening to yourself (emptying yourself and being open), even if you hear what you may not want to acknowledge. Sometimes, major transitions will result.
We had a great discussion afterwards about what people are feeling during current events (anger, fear, depression, optimism for the future).
Next Sunday, October 11th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
Joshua Dunne, Candidate for State Representative
Dunne is a Democratic candidate for state representative of the 60th district. We have previously had Rep. Dave Griffith speak at our forum, and we try to stay balanced.
