Daemen College Listening Circle
Daemen College is proud to be offering a Listening Circle for active military personnel, veterans and their loved ones.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2010
5:30 PM
WICK CENTER, ROOM 113/115
The goal of the Listening Circle is to develop a “safe space” for all voices and cultivate understanding among the listeners. The spirit of a Listening Circle is to acknowledge and honor the worth of all present. The Listening Circle can help participants to:
develop and enhance relationships rebuild trust—person to person and member to the community develop and strengthen skills needed to discuss deeply held beliefs and values while staying committed to the group
As stated in the Listening Circle Report prepared for the Casey Foundation, “Listening Circles give people the courage to drag the ugly into the open so that it may be made into something more beautiful. Listening Circles reflect the belief that we never are alone in our world. The world – no matter how it may treat us – can be enhanced or overcome by the unity of many
people in whose love and commitment we abide.”
Please mark your calendars and share with your military families. For more information please contact Renee Daniel, Chair, Department of Social Work at 839-8292 or rdaniel@daemen.edu
