About Living a Listening Life

In this two-session, foundational course, we’ll explore the practice of listening prayer and the foundational principles, practices and values that accelerate and sustain deep healing of the soul. 

About the Course

In the Roots&Branches model of listening and healing prayer, Rooted Prayer, we create safe space for transformational encounters with Jesus through listening prayer and spiritual practices. In praying with hundreds of spiritual seekers, we’ve witnessed again and again the key roles that listening prayer and safe space play in our healing journeys. In this foundational course, we explore the practice of listening prayer and the dynamics of creating noise-free, shame-free, formula-free, Christ-centric space in our own lives and in community.
