Registration Now Open for Creative Listening Workshop with Dr. Sue Carroll Duffy
TRESCOTT, Maine — Cobscook Institute and Healthy Acadia are pleased to announce that registration is now open for Creative Listening, a hands-on workshop led by Dr. Sue Carroll Duffy. This engaging two-hour session offers a playful and powerful approach to deep listening that resonates across age groups and settings.
Scheduled for Monday, May 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Cobscook Institute, the Creative Listening workshop will introduce participants to “the Wonder Box,” a unique tool developed by Dr. Duffy. Using natural and found objects in a tray of sand, the Wonder Box invites symbolic expression beyond words—deepening understanding through story, gesture, and connection. The method enhances communication in families, among peers, in classrooms, and even in professional environments.
Each participant or family will receive their own Wonder Box to use during and after the workshop. Attendees will also be invited to join ongoing monthly Zoom sessions with Dr. Duffy to continue learning. The workshop counts toward certification as a Moving Storyteller.
Before the workshop, participants are invited to join Cobscook Institute’s monthly Community Dinner, Game Night, and Fiber Circle, held on the first Monday of each month. Dinner begins at 5 p.m.
The workshop is free, but space is limited. Early registration is encouraged. To learn more and sign up, visit https://cobscookinstitute.org/events?e=5-5-2025-creative-listening-workshop. For more information contact Sara McConnell at (207) 255-3741 or by email at sara@healthyacadia.org.
