This Autumn I am offering an ongoing, monthly, facilitated, closed group for up to 6 listening practitioners. My intention is to co-create a nourishing, supportive reflective space where those of you who are engaged in listening can come relax, replenish and refocus. A space to explore and process the impact that listening has on us.

There is huge value in coming together to learn from different listening experiences and environments. And, if listening is a central part of your role, having a space where you can be listened to is an essential element of ethical practice and burnout prevention. We will create a space that is safe for you to come as you are, to speak what needs to be spoken and feel what needs to be felt. We will explore specific elements of listening and share from experience what is coming up in your listening work. The sessions will be made of a mix of practical as well as deeply supportive and replenishing. This group might include people who listen inside of social work, the medical world, education, private practice, third sector, complimentary health, legal roles, mentoring, youth services or other roles that require you to show up and be present and responsive to others.. We will start on September 18th 2026 and meet on the third Friday morning at 10.00am for 2 hours each month. We'll draw from deep listening, journalling, poetry and silence.

The group will run in blocks of 6 months, and can be paid monthly or all together. If you would like to attend a single session to try the group out please let me know. Each session is £40 totalling £240 for the block of 6 If you have any questions or would like to chat through whether this is the right group for you please email me on jennyrosesmith123@gmail.com
