Learning with Friends: Reflecting on Episodes 1- 4 with Nancy Gabriel

Living Love

Join Beth and Nancy Gabriel as they reflect on highlights and learning from the first four podcast conversations. They explore themes such as the time it takes to build trust, how to draw out the gifts already there in communities, and what can unfold when we listen rather than start by promoting our answers. Plus, Beth shares some questions and a format you can use for hosting your own learning and reflection conversations.
