Listening for Change

in the

Monadnock Region

In early 2025 Monadnock Interfaith Project enters into a new phase of listening to understand the challenges local people encounter in our community. Our goal is to identify MIP's next social justice campaign.

Listening can be a spiritual practice - we open our hearts and minds to share and to hear from our neighbors what is weighing on their hearts and minds.

Over the next few months there will be many MIP Listening Sessions in faith congregations and in community organizations. People will be invited to share stories from their own lives about barriers to living a full and healthy life.

We invite you to attend a community listening session Saturday March 8, 2pm at Birdie's in the back room. Birdie's address is 18 Main St, Keene. Please click here to RSVP for March 8 or to be contacted about other Listening Session opportunities.

After the Listening Session phase a new social justice campaign will be chosen and MIP will commence work in that area for positive systemic change in our region. Together we are a force for love in a broken world.

MIP is listening!
