Module 5: Listening Heart
Listening with a contemplative heart is about how we nurture the interior space needed to notice God’s movement in all aspects of life. How do we do this in a world that is noisy, often over-stimulating, crowded and busy? We slow down, not merely to rest, but to make space for God through CONTEMPLATION. Living with a contemplative heart allows us to soften and create heart-space so God can remind us about who are and who God wants us to be.
