The

High-Minded Conversation

To be transformed 🦋

…not to change others.

Welcome to the conversation.

What if you could listen in a new way—to others and to the soft, still voice within yourself? Join practitioner and facilitator Vanessa Edwards for a soul-stirring, five-week journey into sacred and active listening, authentic expression, and personal transformation

This series in group communication is not a debate; but, rather a spiritually liberating practice. Together, we create a beloved
community where spiritual wisdom, democratic principles, and the Presence converge. Through guided reflection, shared inquiry, and intentional dialogue, you begin to hear differently, to speak differently and to be transformed

Presented by Vanessa Edwards, ALSP

Vanessa is an Agape-Licensed Spiritual Practitioner and trained facilitator. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate.

Democracy Requires Spiritual Maturity

Week 1: Be the First to Listen

“Our minds tend to rollover like spheres, vigilant but ever listing toward one side…”

We begin by learning to list in, to surrender control of thought, and let ourselves be carried into new awareness. This opening session introduces transformational conversation and sacred listening in community.

Week 2: Seek First to Understand

“Seek first the kingdom of God… in others.”

Explore how reverent listening is a spiritual practice. Discover the freedom in understanding reacting — even in conflict.

Week 3:
Speak from the 'I AM’

“Who are you? Stand in your spiritual authority.”
Practice self-expression rooted l in the Truth of your being—who and what you are. Through meditation and reflection, you’ll learn to speak with integrity of the mind, body and spirit and leave with a new picture of yourself.

Week 4: If Something Heard Bothers You, Say So — and Why

“Not to force where I think I want to go, but to watch the illusion of going unfold…”
Enter the tunnel of the mind. We explore the power of the presence with discomfort, projection, and inner truth. This is spiritual listening under pressure — and your practice ground for peace.

Week 5: Expanded Awareness

“After having had this exchange, how has your awareness expanded?”

Our closing circle reflects on how sacred listening has shifted our perception, our presence, and our path forward. When we are aware, we are free to choose.
