Why this workshop exists
Four years ago, I was sitting on my bed with tears in my eyes.
My marriage was falling apart, and one sentence my wife had said kept playing in my mind:
“I feel unsafe with you. Why can’t you just be there for me?”
I couldn’t understand it. How could she feel unsafe with me? It took me years to recognise something painful: I had never truly listened to her.
I listened to reply.
To explain myself.
To defend myself.
To help.
To fix.
But not really to understand.
So I started practising. With my wife, my friends, my children and anyone else who would let me. Slowly, something changed.
Eventually, my wife told me:
“I don’t know what you did, but something really changed. After so long, I look forward to coming home to you again.”
We still have our ups and downs. But that experience became one of the reasons this workshop exists.
What you’ll experience
Listen with presence
Practise giving someone your attention without interrupting, advising or preparing your reply.
Experience being heard
Discover how it feels when someone stays present with you and receives what you want to express.
Connect more deeply
Explore the intimacy and aliveness that can emerge through simple, honest listening.
Come alone or bring someone
You are completely welcome to come alone. You’ll be gently paired with other participants during the exercises.
You can also bring a partner, friend, colleague or family member.
Coming with someone close to you offers something extra: you’ll leave with a shared practice that you can continue using together in everyday life.
What people have experienced
“I felt a complete reset of my nervous system.”
“The sessions gave me the feeling of I got heard and seen with my being”
“After our session I finally found the courage to make choices I had been postponing for years.”
*These reflections are from individual listening sessions. The workshop is a group experience and everyone’s experience will be different.

Facilitated by Paolo Umberto Orlandi
Listening became a central practice in my life after I realised how rarely I had truly listened to the people I loved.
Since then, I have spent many hours practising and offering individual listening sessions. Just Listen grew naturally from that experience.
Past participants have left +30 five-star reviews on Hipsy, and my work has a 4.9-star rating on Google.
Come experience it for yourself
You don’t need to become a perfect listener.
Just come as you are, with some curiosity and a willingness to meet another person with your attention.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for one another is simply listen.
Only 16 places are available for each workshop.
