Creating Sanctuary Online: Guest Interview with Lee Glickstein

Have many of your human interactions in the last month been online- with Zoom or Skype or another virtual platform? If you are both grateful for those calls and feeling a little gloomy and zombie-like after so much relating through the screen viewing, you are not alone. 

There is another way! 

 Last week I had the delight of interviewing one of my favorite teachers, Lee Glickstein, for my Creating Sanctuary Series. Lee shared his delightful presence, humor and insight for Creating Sanctuary Online. 

 Lee is the founder of Speaking Circles International and the author of the book Be Heard Now, Tap into Your Inner Speaker and End Stage Fright Forever.  www.SpeakingCircles.com Lee@SpeakingCircles.com

 In the twenty years I have known Lee, he has had a profound effect on my life, especially on my ability to speak from my heart, to listen deeply and to hold space for transformation for individuals and groups. 

 Lee has trained teachers, leaders and Speaking Circle Facilitators and led in-person Speaking Circles successfully for 25 years in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the world. When the corona virus hit this spring he pivoted quickly to adjust his Speaking Circle protocols to create powerful online offerings. 

Listen to my deep and insightful conversation with Lee and learn: 

** How Lee turns his own challenges - such as with stage fright, meditation, anxiety - into solutions so many of us can benefit from. 

** The structure and essence of a Speaking Circle - and why it may be easier for you to join one now than ever before! 

** What Lee means by The Field of Luminous Listening and how you can easily and naturally tap into that. 

**A simple process you can use- in person or virtually- you can drop into a rich inner stillness that nourishes your speaking and your listening. 

** How you can create sanctuary online - for yourself and for others. 

** How to lead online gatherings (for work, family or worship) in a way that expands your content, connection and your teaching and leadership skills.​

This interview is so relevant right now whether you are teaching and leading groups online or a participant.
