The Art of Listening: Dan Hines and Jennifer Dawn Watts on Building Trust and Community

I trust that you have the resources within yourself and have a wisdom that surpasses my wisdom, and that you have this opportunity now to just access your own resources.
Imagine a world where everyone truly listens, without the urge to fix or advise. In this episode, Jennifer Dawn Watts sits down with her friend Dan Hines to explore the profound impact of genuine listening. Dan, known for his transformative retreats and community gatherings, shares insights from his experiences with Circles of Trust—a concept rooted in Parker Palmer’s teachings and the Centre for Courage and Renewal.
These circles create a unique space for honesty and safety, much like the environment found in 12 Step recovery programs. Jennifer and Dan delve into how these gatherings encourage participants to tap into their inner wisdom and support each other without judgment. They discuss the importance of creating safe spaces where people can share openly and listen deeply, fostering a sense of community and personal growth.
Dan’s approach emphasizes trusting one’s own resources and wisdom, a refreshing perspective in today’s advice-heavy world. He believes that by truly listening to one another, we can help each other discern what is truly important in our lives. If you’re curious about how to cultivate deeper connections and create supportive environments, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how learning to listen can transform not only your relationships but also your personal journey of recovery and self-discovery.
