Listening by the Fire

An Introduction to The Sanctuary of Peace & Healing & Radical Listening

Join us for a peaceful and inspiring afternoon at the Tibetan Kitchen Woodland Café, where we’ll introduce you to the gentle, life-changing practice of Radical Listening and the growing community behind The Sanctuary.

This event is designed for anyone who feels curious about wellbeing, connection, or compassionate ways of living — no previous experience needed.

Together, we’ll slow down, breathe, and explore what becomes possible when we listen deeply to ourselves and to each other.

✨ What You’ll Experience

🌿 A Gentle Listening Walk

We’ll begin with a quiet walk around the lake, an opportunity to arrive in yourself, notice the world around you, and practise simple grounding techniques used in our courses.

🔥 Fire Circle of Sanctuary

Gathering around the fire, you’ll be guided through an introduction to Radical Listening - a compassionate, somatic approach that helps people feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to themselves and others.

We’ll explore:

• What Radical Listening is
• Why it’s needed in today’s world
• How it transforms relationships
• The story of The Sanctuary and our movement

💛 Meet the Community

This is a warm, welcoming space to meet like-minded people, ask questions, and get a sense of what we do in our Listening Courses and community membership.

Whether you’re exploring personal growth, seeking deeper connection, or simply curious, you’ll be warmly held in a supportive environment.
