Listening Circles with KJW Praxis

Join KJW Praxis at Painted Brain for our virtual event Listening Circle, an activation curated to cultivate connection through active listening, reflective conversation, and intentional space setting. Centered in the belief that listening is an act of liberation, this workshop invites participants to slow down, engage with one another authentically, and practice presence in a supportive environment.

Through socially engaged prompts, somatic awareness exercises, and group reflection, we will explore the essence of listening—creating space for personal insight, collective wisdom, and deeper understanding. Whether you seek to strengthen your communication skills, build community, or simply be heard, this Listening Circle offers a restorative space to connect with yourself and others.

Who is this for?
Open to all who value deep listening, self-reflection, and meaningful conversation. No prior experience necessary—just bring your presence.

Come as you are. Listen deeply. Be heard.
