When was the last time you felt truly heard? Without interruption, judgment, or advice? In a world driven by speed, opinion, and artificial intelligence, how can we slow down and create deeper, more thoughtful spaces for reflection and clarity? In this therapeutic and inclusive workshop, El, a social worker, will introduce us to a powerful practice called the Clearing Committee, a structured ritual of deep listening and non-rhetorical questioning, originally developed by a community known as the Quakers. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of them; what matters here is the method, and how transformational it can be.

During the process, one person brings a personal or professional issue to the group, and the rest of the “committee” supports them, not by offering solutions or opinions, but by asking honest, open-ended questions. This unique approach helps the speaker uncover their own insights and pathways forward. Whether you're facing a challenge, seeking clarity, or simply curious about a new way to connect and grow, this workshop offers a deeply human and refreshing approach to problem-solving and emotional insight.

你上次真正被倾听是什么时候？没有打断，没有评判，也没有建议？在这个被速度、意见和人工智能主导的世界里，我们如何放慢节奏，创造更深入、更有思想的反思和清晰空间？在这场治疗性和包容性的工作坊中，社会工作者El将为我们介绍一种强大的练习——清理委员会，这是一种深度倾听和非修辞性提问的结构化仪式，最初由贵格会社群开发。即使你从未听说过它，重要的是这个方法，以及它如何具有变革性。

在这个过程中，一个人将自己的个人或职业问题带到小组中，其余“委员会”成员并不会提供解决方案或意见，而是通过提出诚实、开放式问题来支持他们。这种独特的方法帮助发言者发现自己的见解和前进的道路。无论你是面对挑战，寻求清晰，还是对一种新的连接和成长方式感到好奇，这个工作坊都提供了一种深具人性和令人耳目一新的解决问题和情感洞察的方法。
