David Listenberger

David Listenberger came to council through his work in music. Hired as a vocal arts instructor at Crossroads School in 1999, David quickly found a home practicing and witnessing the power of council with students, parents, teachers, alum – all members of a school community. David has a B.A. in English from Chapman University and an M.S. in Education from the University of Southern California.

 

David has served as the Chair of the Life Skills program at Crossroads School and has facilitated councils for all manner of groups for over 23 years, including men's circles, women's circles, circles of currently and formerly incarcerated, religious, and Rites of Passage circles.

 

David is a firm believer in the power of ceremony and ritual in everyday life, and is specifically interested in the intersection of art, creative self-expression, and council; utilizing the council circle to enable greater levels of openness and radical honesty in all who choose the path.
