Last week I had a fantastic experience! I was doing a dialogue session with a client - how to communcate through preparing to listen and not to talk!?!
Possible? Yes!
I learned this from The Performance Group who are true experts in this (Thank you to you!) and I fell in love with the format.
Bohm Dialogue or Bohmian Dialogue is a form of free association conducted in groups, with no predefined purpose in mind besides mutual understanding and exploration of human thought. It aims to allow participants to examine their preconceptions, prejudices and patterns of thought. The group sits in a single circle, for a few hours during regular meetings or for a few days in a workshop environment. Participants "suspend" their thoughts, motives, impulses and judgments - exploring and attempting to "think together" collectively. According to the proposal, Dialogue should not be confused with discussion, lecture, discourse or debate, which, says Bohm, all suggest working towards a goal rather than simply exploring. Meeting without an objective or agenda is done to create a "free space" for something new to happen.
I reccomend you try it......

I've always believed that communication goes first through listening and then through talking - great blog girls :-)
