Sidewalk Talk - Corvallis, OR

Our Mission at SIDEWALK TALK IS TO NURTURE HUMAN CONNECTION BY TEACHING AND PRACTICING HEART-centered listening in public spaces. Join us for this special community event! (For 2 hours or the whole afternoon). More event info here: https://openstreetscorvallis.org/ [https://openstreetscorvallis.org/] Ongoing: We aim to listen on the SECOND SATURDAY of each month, from 2:00-4:00 pm at the CORVALLIS BENTON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY (outside if mostly dry/clear, inside if rainy). We aren’t here to do therapy or give advice, we just want to give you an opportunity to be seen and heard! We are here to listen – if you want to stop by and talk, no RSVP necessary! If you are a SIDEWALK TALK TRAINED LISTENER, be sure to RSVP so we will know to send you logistics and details! If you would like to become a SIDEWALK TALK TRAINED LISTENER PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN REGISTER, sign a waiver, complete the free (1-hour) online listener training, and buy your t-shirt. That’s it! Once you’ve completed the training and waiver, RSVP here. Then, on the day of the event, just bring two (2) camping chairs and an open heart. Hope to see you there! Note: This is not a one-time feel-good service, rather we hope to develop a consistent monthly practice so that we can build a strong volunteer team to weave compassionate listening into the fabric of our community.
