At The Compassionate Listening Project, we are on a mission to empower individuals and communities to transform conflict and nurture cultures of peace and healing. 

We’ve seen firsthand how this practice opens hearts and minds—even in the most entrenched conflicts. Compassionate Listening gives people the tools to build bridges, foster resilience, and transform despair into hope. This work is desperately needed in today’s world, and with your support, it can continue.

Our 2024 highlights include:

• Participants from 24 countries took part in 167 workshops, dialogues and training events, including from Afghanistan, Iran, South Africa, Lebanon, Mexico, Peru, Palestine, Israel, Indonesia and Nigeria.
• We awarded over $23,000 in scholarship support for our programs, ensuring equity and access to people who bring diverse voices and perspectives to our trainings and events, and strengthen our global community.
• We partnered with non-profit organizations doing profound work, including Tomorrow's Women, Braver Angels, and Healing Dialogue and Action, expanding our reach and impact.
• We have received more applications for our Compassionate Listening Facilitator Certification Program than ever before, including from leaders who bring greater diversity to TCLP in age and nationality. 
• Plans are well underway for our next Journey to Israel and Palestine, scheduled for November 3-16, 2025, with Gil Bar Sela, Laurie Archbold and Munteha Shukralla; registration coming soon!

Join us in transforming lives and communities by training more peace and reconciliation leaders and supporting their work in the world!
