An Evening for Genuine Encounters in Advent
When the weeks leading up to Christmas are filled with appointments, expectations, and inner turmoil, Speaking & Listening creates a calm space for an open experience of faith and community. At ZMO Mainz e.V., people gather to share thoughts, listen attentively to one another, and focus on what is essential: connection, gratitude, and human closeness. The dialogical format is free of charge and takes place regularly on the third Thursday of the month; for this evening, entry into a culture of appreciative conversation is particularly appropriate.

A Protected Space for Conversation and Reflection
The format does not rely on debate, but on encounters from person to person. According to ZMO Mainz e.V., Speaking & Listening creates a decelerated space that balances speaking times and strengthens mutual perception. Especially during the Advent season, this creates a quiet, respectful atmosphere where personal experiences can find a place.

Advent, Christmas, and the Question of the Inner Self
The guiding question of the evening focuses on one’s own mood during the Christmas time. Amidst family life, contemplation, and the desire for true peace, the conversation opens up the opportunity to reflect on hope, expectation, and closeness. For visitors, a shared, spiritually charged dialog experience emerges that does without preaching but can still have a profound effect.
