8.4 To Hold Space

Joshua Lazerson remembers starting to understand the power and importance of listening as a teenager. At the age of 25 he made a personal commitment to try to prioritize listening in his life, and has 41 years of practice to date. Today, he fulfills that commitment, in part, with The Listening Project, through which he holds space by offering to listen to anyone who wishes to join him in a variety of public places around San Diego County, California, where he lives. Join us in this warm and beautiful conversation as Joshua describes why and how he holds that space for others to share who they are and what is on their hearts and minds.
