Looking back now, we can safely say that we've come a long way! And the journey that has brought us here, has been full of adventure and discovery. Throughout these 4 years different people around the globe, strangers to each other, have created spaces that welcome stories. And even more, people have boldly trodden into these spaces to fill them with their souls.
Throughout these 4 years, the echoes of these souls that meet in time zones all around the world have always been with us. So this year we invite again all guides, listeners, storytellers, people who have crossed LH paths, and those who are curious to synchronize our souls in the 4th annual LH festival.
The theme of our festival is Synchronizing Souls: From Morning Brews to Midnight Conversations. We wish to create a space for all the different storyholders and storytellers to celebrate, meet, connect, share, and exchange adventures and discoveries.
The structure of this year’s festival will be trying to synchronize souls, stories, and needs for connection and growth. We are planning a program full of Listening Hour Sessions which will be offered by you, as well as workshops and panels. This year for the first time we will offer events that are targeted especially for the community and events that will be open to people outside the community who wish to attend the festival.
This is a moment the LH comes together from all over the World. Beginning on May 17th with an Opening Ceremony, we will close on May 19th with a Closing Ceremony. We welcome you to come as much as you are able. As before, the Listening Hour Festival is free of charge.
Beginning and going throughout the festival (outside the times for Opening and closing ceremonies, workshops, and panels) we will have Listening Hours ending at 9 pm EDT on Sunday evening.
