4th Thursday of Every Month

3:30 - 5:00 PM

Big Talk

Held at Shelburne Commons, 4066 Shelburne Road

Big Talk is an ongoing open group that meets monthly, on the 4th Thursday from 3:30-5pm. There is a different deep question for each meeting and it can be found in the All Souls newsletter for several weeks ahead of each meeting.

This experience is the opposite of "small talk" or "chit chat." We speak in turn, from our hearts, based on our life experiences. And as we listen, the goal is to understand rather than to respond. We learn from and get to know one another as we recognize that our different life circumstances can lead to different opinions. In the process we become more skilled at listening and at "big talk."

The meetings are in person only and are led by Rev. Barbara Benton and Dr. Matt Rushford. If you have questions and/or would like to be included on the email list to receive notification of the question and a small thoughtful prompt about a week before each meeting, please click here to send an email to Barbara Benton.

"Big Talk" was originally created by Kalina Silverman; learn more by clicking here.
