*Lausanne* Empathy Lab - First Picnic Gathering

We’re starting something new in Lausanne… a space to slow down, connect, and practice empathy together. Welcome to the Lausanne Empathy Lab! This gathering is hosted by Sarah Suter and Senovio Shish.

For our very first gathering, we’ll keep it simple and informal. We’ll meet outdoors for a shared picnic, get to know each other, and explore what kind of community we’d like to create.

What to expect:
- A warm welcome and time to meet new people
- A short circle to co-create our guiding principles (confidentiality, care, respect…)
- Space to dream together: when to meet, where to meet, and what we’d like from this group
- A few light empathy practices in pairs — simple listening rounds designed to build connection and presence
- Shared food and conversation under the open sky

Practical details:
🗓️ When: 11 September 2025 from 6pm to 8:30pm
📍 Where: lawn of Fondation de l’Hermitage, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y8fgBjjH2mT7jNJS6
🥗 What to bring: Something small to share for the picnic, a blanket or cushion, and an open heart

Who is it for?
Anyone curious about empathy, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), or simply longing for more authentic human connection. No experience needed — just curiosity and kindness.

Our intention:
This group is about connection, not perfection. We’ll listen, share, laugh, and see what wants to grow. Together, we’ll shape the Lausanne Empathy Lab into a monthly space for learning, practice, and community.

Come as you are. Leave a little more connected.💛

Please RSVP so we know to expect you. Look for us on facebook to stay tuned for future updates.
