*The Listening Hour is an online story sharing process developed by Jonathan Fox, co-founder of Playback Theatre, and a world-renowned expert in personal narrative. The purpose of the Listening Hour is to engage in embodied storytelling and to find  meaning and connection with others. Our stories hold wisdom and sharing them can build resilience in difficult times. Each Listening Hour session has up to 6 participants and consists of a short meditation/easy physical warm-up, story telling, and a reflection by the facilitator.
