In a social zeitgeist that emphasizes talking, verbalizing, and presenting one’s self, Kay Lindahl has steadfastly worked to reverse this equation: since the early 1990s, she has been teaching people how to listen – a composite form of inner and outer listening with a deeply spiritual grain. An ordained interfaith minister and global leader in interfaith organizations, she believes that building lasting peace requires a reformation in how we communicate – beyond words, and through channels of our attention. And so she helps teach critical, deep listening skills not only across diverse faith, cultural, and other traditions, but also as a sacred art in itself – a spiritual exercise that an individual undertakes in the interior of their being. For Kay, spiritual listening goes beyond the mechanics and modalities; it emerges from an inward-facing stillness and attentiveness that creates space for transformation and sacred relationship.
