About the event
Whether you are in a romatic, creative or business partnership, having empathy for the people you care about is paramount to your relational wellbeing. When we know what is going on for us and for the other person, we can connect in honest ways that honor the needs of all parties and allow us to get creative about the strategies to meet those needs.
In this session, we will get a basic overview of the skill and faculty of empathy, what it is and what it is not, how and when to engage it in our relationships. We will work with the wonderful world of feelings and needs, understanding what they are and what they tell us about the life energy moving within and between us.
We will practice giving and receiving empathy as well as explore the possibility of establishing rituals for exchanging empathy in your relationships as a strategy for relational wellbeing.
Come alone or with a partner.
