“Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn..”
Alice Miller

Chairpersons
Trust your own solitude
‘If you have a trust in and an expectation of your own solitude, everything that you need to know will be revealed to you.’
John O’Donohue
We know who´s close
‘There is an instinct that emerges when we get quiet with people. We know who’s close.’
John O’Donohue
Each day, one of us is visited by beauty
‘When we hear the word ‘beauty’, we inevitably think that beauty belongs in a special elite realm where only the extraordinary dwells. Yet without realizing it, each day each one of us is visited by beauty. When you actually listen to people, it is surprising how often beauty is mentioned. A world without beauty would be unbearable.’
John O’Donohue
