About the Empathy Circles
The Empathy Circle practice is the most effective gateway practice for learning, practicing and deepening listening and empathy skills, as well as, nurturing an empathic way of being.
The Empathy Circle provides a structured dialogue process where each person feels fully heard, fostering mutual understanding and connection. The Empathy Circle practice not only hones empathy but also fosters a range of valuable skills, such as communication and conflict management skills, making it a powerful tool for personal growth, conflict resolutions and meaningful dialogue.
The four core values of the Empathy Circle are empathy, mutuality, openness and caring.
These Empathy Circles explore turning the heart and mind from our familiar, unsatisfying self-centered attitude, to “others before self,” and collective action for the common good. Gratitude, empathy, compassion, altruism, and an appreciation of our common humanity are all essential for cultivating genuine happiness and are beneficial for social action and harmony.
Janna will provide short excerpts, quotes or video, and suggested topic questions, or you can share whatever is on your mind.
