Exciting new format this Monday! Thanks to all those who have been participating in the Empathy Cafe's in the last couple of months. It has been a fun and connecting experience.

This Monday, we'll modify the format a little, based on wishes expressed by past participants. We'll continue to include empathetic reflection (like what we've been doing at the Empathy Cafes up to this point) for those inexperienced or rusty with NVC. In addition, for those with NVC training or experience, we'll include in the format the guessing feelings and needs of the speaker (NVC style). We'll also try opening the reflection and feeling & needs guesses to all listeners in a group, so everyone stays involved the whole time.

Join Edwin Rutsch, Vicki Lapp and others for an empathy circle. Edwin will facilitate so each person will be heard and receive empathy. Our intention for the circle is to foster and build a local empathic community. That is to nurture empathy for ourselves (self-empathy), empathic connection in the circle, as well as, in the larger society & world.

Open to experienced nvc people, as well as those who don't even know what nvc stands for, but appreciate empathetic listening. This is an opportunity to build and establish a sense of community and connection, using simple, easy to use reflective listening techniques.

Come participate in creating and being nourished by a local empathy based community that supports our deepest values, needs, aspirations and dreams.
