Course Description
This course is for anyone looking to spark meaningful dialogue across lines of difference in the service of social change. Since 2001, Krista Tippett has hosted conversations on the big questions of meaning with guests including Dalai Lama, Maya Angelou and Desmond Tutu. She models a conversational style that elicits wisdom and cultivates generous listening.
You will learn about Krista's practices for identifying “bad” questions, becoming a generous listener, and moving toward a style of inquiry that elicits more wisdom.
