Introduction

"On location with the Compassionate Listening Project, I discovered that listening to others without judgement takes us to that field where there are no longer any words, where only our open hearts, common humanity, and fearless love exist."
-Beverly Duperly Boos, photographer

Hundreds of North Americans are traveling with the Compassionate Listening Project to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza to listen deeply to people on all sides of the conflict...to discover the human being behind the stereotype, and build true bridges of understanding and hope.

We invite you to experience Compassionate Listening in this preview of our forthcoming exhibition, Opening of the Heart, with photographs by Beverly Duperly Boos and quotes and stories from the Israelis and Palestinians portrayed.
