Metamorphosis Listening Circles

The Metamorphosis Listening Circle is an initiative that stemmed from a need to have deep and meaningful conversations with other people. These circles intend to bring together individuals who are on a shared journey of seeking to understand different constructs, ideas and concepts. Every Listening Circle will focus on a different theme related to mental, and emotional wellbeing.

  • The initiative’s vision is to create a community rooted in compassion, kindness, and empathy, where every voice is respected, and every heart is acknowledged

  • The initiative’s mission is to cultivate a culture of empathetic listening and communication, centered on personal development, compassion, and love.

Peek Inside a Listening Circle

1

Connect

Every session starts with a connection session. Everyone enters an event with different energies. This session is to tune into the circle and ground ourselves to absorb as much as we can through the discussion.

2

Reflect

Every session will center around a unique theme and include various materials such as text, audio, or video to establish context for our discussions and reflections.

3

Discuss

We'll facilitate open discussions where participants can share insights and experiences in a supportive environment. We aim to promote attentive listening, empathy, and personal growth while fostering kindness and connection.

Session One

Acceptance from the Stoic Lens

In our first listening circle, we explored the theme of acceptance. We kicked off with an ice-breaker to foster camaraderie, followed by a reading from "The Daily Stoic" on embracing reality as it is. This sparked a variety of responses, thoughts, and ideas from participants. After personal reflection time, everyone took turns sharing their insights through different prompts.

It’s hard to find such amazing thoughtful and Intellectually gifted human beings who are still in touch with humanity (that Humane nature of it that is) in one place. Thank you so so much to the facilitator Ms. Ichha Bhan Talwar for gifting us such an event. Kudos”
