What we’re about
A place for those that identify as Highly Sensitive People or Empaths (a description of the Highly Sensitive personality traits can be found in Elaine Aron’s book: “The Highly Sensitive Person” (1996) and a description of Empaths can be found in Judith Orloff’s book: “The Empath’s Survival Guide”) to socialize, support each other, and find a sense of belonging. Our meetups provide a safe space for the sharing of personal experiences and conversations broaching deep, meaningful topics.
What this group offers:
- Casual and relaxing in-person events where you may have the type of chats that seem to only be possible with others HSPs and Empaths☺️
- The goal of having it's members feel empowered in their identity as an HSP or Empath
- A safe space for HSPs and Empaths where feelings are welcome
Please Note:
- If you don’t identify as a Highly Sensitive Person or an Empath, and are just looking to find someone to listen to you with empathy, I wouldn’t recommend this group and instead would recommend attending a support group (which this group is not) as there is no guarantee that others in this group will listen with empathy to what you share. Members of this group are looking to meet other like-minded individuals and/those that have read books on the subject of HSP’s and Empaths.
- This is not a therapy or support group or a replacement for therapy. Please be responsible for your own personal mental health, and be in control of your own reactions as members of the group are allowed to share their own opinions and there is no expectation of confidentiality (something found in a support group). One such support group is Elements Calgary:

Be part of a community that can help you find confidence and strength in being an HSP or Empath!
📍 Based in Calgary, Alberta
