Self, Community, Spirit: The Discipline of Wholehearted Listening
Allison Schuette, MFA (Department of English)
What does it mean to give yourself wholeheartedly to work and collaborations whose fruit you cannot know ahead of time? For me, it has meant uncovering the range, capacity, and transformative power of listening. Whether listening to self, other, community or spirit, there is an art and craft to this discipline, which illuminates the value of taking risks in the good company of others.
