About this Course
Today conversations are skewed by a barrage of questions with little space left to have something new emerge spontaneously in our speaking and listening.
We are called to find a way to listen with our entire being to what matters the most to those we serve.
Our aim is to meaningfully come to know those we serve so that we can support them to set the pace and direction of change.
For us to be present with others in such a way as to inspire them to want to be known, deeply and truly, we need to cultivate the capacity for being more conscious in our listening and speaking. This is how trust begins to grow in a meaningful way.
When people feel seen and heard by you and witness you working at learning how they communicate their needs and wants, it is then that people begin to “play big” in their lives, and take on changes they have never imagined were possible.
This retreat will create in you the desire to shift your imagination of what it takes to listen and speak in order to connect and make meaning with others. Join us for this transformative and relatable course coming up in one month’s time through LifePath training.

All courses offered by LifePath Training and Facilitation have been developed, with the intention of creating a shared learning experience aimed primarily at family members and/or loved ones, people who live with a disability, aspiring and experienced facilitators, and community support workers.
LifePath welcomes participants who are interested in learning together, in an inclusive and participatory space. All courses are known for offering safety, where all perspectives are present and heard, and where co-learning, reflection, and deepening of capacities are grounded in the insights and experiences of people and families, and/or loved ones and practitioners.
We work closely with people who live with a disability, to get the most from the course by having someone to support them to engage fully, in all of the exercises and conversations.

Mentoring Conversations:
Mentoring sessions are held one or two weeks after the course, and involve 3 other people who took the course. Each person has a dedicated conversation with Judith, whilst the other two participants listen and observe. This gives the speaker a chance to further digest and make sense of the course, by exploring and working through whatever thoughts and questions have occurred to them, since the course. It is extremely valuable for applying their insights to their life and work, and broadening their own perspective by listening to the experience of others, from the course.
