Listening rooms

Whatever is said here does not leave here.

The campaign

Some things are easier to say to people who have been there. Listening Rooms are small, closed circles where survivors can talk — or simply sit and listen — without being asked to explain, justify or prove anything.

Each room has one rule, carried over from the very first circle we ever ran: whatever is said here does not leave here. A trained facilitator holds that line, and keeps the room steady when it needs to be.

We keep the groups small on purpose. When a room fills up, we start a new one rather than let it grow — because a circle stops being safe the moment it stops feeling like one.
