What’s On In Beechworth

3 week workshop commencing Wednesday 4th September 5pm – 6:30pm As a follow on from the Kerferd Oration there will be a series of workshops which will focus on developing interpersonal communication skills to enhance our capacity to “listen”.    The workshops are hands-on and will involve individual work, paired work, and group work as well as some teaching to explore and develop our understanding of what it means to ‘listen’. The workshops will have a generalist approach and will not be about teaching therapy, but it will give you a tool kit of skills to enhance your capacity to listen more effectively. Each workshop builds on what is learnt from the previous workshop.   Session 1: Knowing yourself, knowing others. Session 2: Putting it together – an exploration of using the skills in conversation. Session 3: Reflections – an exploration of the learning’s and understanding that have come from “listening”   You will need to bring pencil and paper to make your own notes. There will be no study notes supplied.
