Compassionate Listening Advanced Training Comes East
he Compassionate Listening Project (TCLP), based in the Pacific Northwest, is taking reservations for its first-ever East Coast Advanced Training Course One, “Compassionate Listening with Self and Others.” Led by Senior Trainer/Facilitator Andrea Cohen, M.A., M.S.W. and Facilitator Yael Petretti, this experiential workshop will be held at Caritas Christi Center/Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden from November 10 through 13. The advanced course is open to everyone who has taken an introduc- tory training or participated in a TCLP training delegation. It is designed to strengthen Compassionate Listening skills, catalyze personal growth, and offer direction and support (in an intimate learning community) for becoming a skilled practitioner. Participants are invited to deepen their under- standing of Compassionate Listening’s core practices and engage in exercises enabling: transformation of judgments of self and others; “showing up” in the world more grounded in the body; humanizing connection with those who “trigger” them; shifts from reactivity to compassion; and, balance in the heat of conflict. Tuition is based on a $450- 650 sliding scale. An additional $275 charge covers over- night accommodations, meals and facility use ($170 without accommodations). A deposit of $300, received by October 14 ensures a reservation.
Recognizing that non-judgmental listening is a great healing process in itself, TCLP teaches skills and offers programs and workshops for peacemaking in families, communities, offices, and in social change work locally and globally.
Workshop location is 265 Benham Street in Hamden, CT. For details, contact Yael at 413.527.1093, or

Finding Fall Foliage W
ith summer transitioning into autumn, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has launched its Fall Foliage
website at
ct.gov/dep/foliage. The site features information on: where to view foliage in Connecticut; why leaves change color; leaf peeper tips; scenic views and hiking opportunities; Connecticut shore locations offering vistas at coastal state parks, wildlife management areas and other open space sites; and, Fall foliage driving routes. The foliage season usually begins between mid-to-late September, with peak color estimated to be between October 11 and November 13, depending on the weather during October. State foresters report the levels of color spread from across the state and reports get updated as information becomes available.
Founded in 1971, the DEP aims to conserve, improve and protect the natural resources and environment of Connecticut. The department is currently involved in an agency consolidation with the newly-created Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Seeking to enable a more systematic, proactive, and coherent integra- tion of energy and environmental policy programs, the department will unite DEP with Public Utility Control and the energy policy group from the Office of Policy and Management.
For Fall foliage information, visit
ct.gov/dep/foliage. DEP is reachable at 860.424.3000. Though a consolidated website will be launched in the near future, current information can be found at
ct.gov/dep.
