Bill Jacobsen, an internationalpractitioner of compassionate listening and conflict transformation. Thegathering is co-sponsored by Wellspring and Becoming Beloved Community.

Bill explains: “In times of personal, national andinternational uncertainty, I need to listen to other people in order to keep mybalance and share with them our mutual work of taking care of ourselves andeach other while we unmask and dismantle systemic racism, and create a morejust and more peaceful world looking forward. We are not all in the same place,nor are we struggling with the same demons. That's why the art of listening toeach other, compassionately and non-judgmentally is vital in fostering ongoinghealing and resilience, community and support.”
