Welcome
to the conversation.
To be transformed
…not to change others.
What if you could listen in a new way—to others and to yourself; that soft, still voice within you?
What if the goal of conversation was to expand your perception; not to change someone else’s?
Join practitioner and facilitator Vanessa Edwards for a soul-stirring, five-week workshop in authentic expression and sacred listening.
This series in group communication is not a debate; it's a liberating spiritual practice of allowing the Presence, Universal law, and democratic principles align---to be in integrity.
Through guided reflection, shared inquiry, and intentional dialogue, we are poised to realize we are free in the Spirit--beloved, and, therefore, already the beloved community.
Facilitated 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.
TOPIC: Democracy Requires Spiritual Maturity
Join me for five, 90-minute sessions exploring democratic principles through our spiritual lenses. Steeped in meditation, prayer and contemplation, we allow Truth to be “self-evident”
about ourselves and others.

Week 1:
Be the First to Listen.
Our minds tend to roll like spheres, vigilant but ever listing toward one side.
We begin by learning to "list in," to surrender attachment to the thoughts we think and be present with what is. This opening session introduces transformational conversation and sacred listening and practices.
Week 2:
Seek First to Understand.
Seek first the kingdom of God…in others.
Explore how reverential listening is a spiritual practice. Discover the freedom and expansion in stillness and understanding—even during conflict.
Week 3:
Speak from the 'I AM.’
Who are you?
Stand in your spiritual authority.
Practice self-expression rooted in the Truth of your being—who and what you are. Through meditation and reflection, learn to speak with integrity of mind, body and spirit, and in a way that others can sense the love in you and know it
as themselves.
Week 4:
Notice What Bothers You.
Not to force where I think I want to go; but to watch the illusion of coming and going unfold…before me.
Enter the tunnel of the mind. We explore the power of presence during discomfort, projection, and inner conflict--spiritual listening under pressure—and your practice of peace.
Week 5:
Notice What's New.
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 our response in a world of pure relativity.
