The Course

There are many types of curiosity.

All of these can be present in some form, whether we are having a Monologue, Dual Monologue, Dialogue, or Conversation.

A lot of what is called conversation is all too frequently two people talking to themselves out loud. When people speak with others, their own point of view, judgements, and history often cloud the quality of the conversation. They ‘try’ to be curious and ask open-ended questions, but the cloud is still there. The conversation beneath the conversation is rarely heard or observed.

When we have a Curious Conversation, when curiosity becomes visible, there is a leap to another kind of conversation. A conversation of previously unseen possibilities.

What is a Curious Conversation?

A curious conversation is a conversation with two or more people where each person is attentively cultivating the spark of curiosity at every opportunity and following where it leads.
