Naked Saying and Close Listening

Naked Saying and Close Listening

Participate in 8 Monthly Talks to Bring More of Gendlin's Philosophy into Practice

As uncomfortable as the word “naked” might make us, we all have a longing to be original and natural.

With naked saying and close listening, we will explore how to say what we mean, free ourselves from constraints of language forms, and find ways to trust our inner voices.

Listening to what your inner voice has to say will bring you closer to yourself.

This is what we will do and what you will get:

We will meet for 8 sessions, ask some of Gendlin’s philosophical questions, listen to his answers, and reflect on what we will have heard. We will do exercises - solo and in partnerships - to experience close listening and naked saying and share our experiences.

The partnership work during the breakout time allows you to get to know the other participants and to learn from each other. Like in a coffee house, you can share your experiences and follow up discussions in the learning portal.

You will get the exercises as handouts.  The recordings and presentations of the sessions will be available to re-watch.

Here are the topics we will address:

• What does Naked Saying mean?
• What are the beginnings of naked saying?
• How can we establish and embody the context of a ". . ."?
• How do we listen to ourselves to hear the implying?
• How do we get comfortable with the discomfort of naked saying?
• How can old words make new sense?
• How can many words come and make sense in a slot?
• What is instancing, and how do instances function?
