Heart to Heart Club
All of us want to be heard. Yet that feeling is pretty rare. The internet can sometimes be freeing as a place to express your deepest thoughts and feelings, but it lacks the warmth that a true conversation holds. So much is communicated through body language, voice tone, and the natural flow of response that no technology can replace these things.
In many ways information has replaced conversation. We talk about food, schedules, the news, what happened today. The sad truth is that many times the only way we begin to discuss our deeper thoughts and feelings is when a boundary has been crossed: after an argument or misunderstanding. We all know the feeling of being told “I have something I need to talk to you about” and the instant sense of foreboding as though you've done something wrong.
Joining the Heart to Heart Club is a way to create a safe space for deep communication. That “something we need to talk about” becomes a monthly ritual for expression. The Idea email every month gives you the impetus to consider and discuss something outside of the day to day stuff. The topic for discussion is general enough to be applied to anyone, yet deep enough to lead to places you may rarely go in conversation. It is a place to practice listening intently, as well as speaking your deepest truth. Both listening and speaking are skills, and like any skill the more you practice the easier it becomes.
Anyone can join the Heart to Heart Club. Perhaps you join and make it a goal to have a Heart to Heart with a different person each month. Maybe you join as part of a couple and make a plan to have these conversations in a special way every time. Or you could join and use the topic each month to have as many conversations as you can about it with all different people. What you do and how you do it is up to you.
When you join the club you will receive an introductory letter with tips and also rules for holding respectful conversations. Remember, this is a skill you are building and there are ways to learn how to communicate successfully. You will also receive a certificate that you are welcome to present to someone if you would like them to be your conversation partner. There is also a bonus topic so that you can have your first Heart to Heart as soon as you are ready. After that you will receive an Idea email on the 19th day of each month.
