4 years ago I was sitting on my bed with tears in my eyes.

My marriage was falling apart.

One sentence my wife had said kept playing in my head:

โ€œI feel unsafe with you. Why can't you just be there for me?โ€

I couldn't understand it.

How could she feel unsafe with me? I'm such a lovable and sweet guy.

It took me years to realize something painful:

I had never truly listened to her.

I listened to reply.
To explain myself.
To defend myself.
To help.
To fix.

But not really to connect.

So I started practicing.

With my wife. My friends. My kids. Anyone who would let me ๐Ÿ˜…

And slowly, something changed.

Eventually my wife told me:

โ€œI don't know what you did, but something really changed. After so long, I again look forward to coming home to you.โ€

We still have ups and downs, but that's one of the reasons this workshop exists.

Expect games, honest sharing, laughter, and moments of deep connection with yourself and others.

There will be no teachings, just an invitation to connect and play along.

Just Listen is donation-based.

You pay โ‚ฌ10 to reserve your place. It gives you some skin in the game and helps prevent empty spots.

โ‚ฌ35 is the suggested total contribution, but give whatever feels right after the session (you can do through a QR-code or cash)

โ€œI felt a complete reset of my nervous system.โ€

โ€œThe sessions gave me the feeling of I got heard and seen with my beingโ€

โ€œAfter our session I finally found the courage to make choices I had been postponing for years.โ€

If you sometimes miss real connection and enjoy playful yet deep moments with other humans, this workshop might be for you.

Looking forward to share this experience together,
