Our vision is to grow listening communities for wellbeing in Scotland and beyond.
Mental Health is one of the major challenges of our times
Listening Training for Wellbeing
It is important to think about your reasons for training in listening.
Although our courses provide training in active empowering listening, they are not simply skills training. They are about developing listening people with the understanding of the connection between listening and health and wellbeing.

“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.”
Carl Rogers
