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 Empathy Circle was developed by Edwin Rutsch, founder and director of The Empathy Center, based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers. The four core values of the Empathy Circle are empathy, mutuality, openness and caring.
If you want to know more about the Empathy Circles, please check the June 2023 Summit, and Empathy Circles with CTM/16G at the Nov 2024 Empathy Summit, as well as other circles that Janna and others have led.

Bi-weekly Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by the Centre for Wisdom and Compassion
2025-12-09 19:30 - 20:30 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Online
“Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
About the Sessions
Join us online for an hour to pause, center, and restore to a happier and more peaceful mind to support you in being a bit more resilient in a world which does not always make sense anymore. These guided meditations are to help you calm your mind, explore your own nature and develop a more peaceful perception on life. When you are well with yourself, you will be more able to be well with others and the world.
These meditations are very practical, they are not within a religious context, so they are suitable for people of different beliefs, ages and abilities, for beginners as well as for those with more experience.

What are the meditations based on?
They are based on a set of values and principles aimed at helping individuals cultivate a more peaceful and meaningful life. They are divided into four categories:

how we think (humility, patience, contentment and delight)
how we act (kindness, honesty, generosity and right speech)
how we relate to others (respect, forgiveness, gratitude and loyalty)
how we find meaning (aspiration, principles, service and courage).

These guidelines provide a framework for personal growth, encouraging individuals to think, act, relate, and find meaning in ways that foster a harmonious and fulfilling life.
How to Join
The sessions are offered online with a few of the sessions also being offered with the option of meeting physically in Phendeling’s rooms in Copenhagen. You will receive all details once you register.

About the Sessions
Join a wonderful team of facilitators for a series of Meditations and meaningful discussions organized by Jamyang Buddhist Centre in Leeds (UK).
This series is structured into 1 hour sessions and is offered on Sundays at 10:30 am GMT.
From January to the end of March the Sunday community meditations will be focusing on ‘A Mindful Heart’.
Inspired by the Creating Compassionate Cultures program (“CCC”) by Pam Cayton, and developed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom. Grounded in three core pathways of learning: Knowledge, Strength, and Compassion. These pathways guide you towards a happier, more meaningful life by fostering inner growth and a warmer connection with others.
Designed to help you develop a deeper understanding of how the mind works. The aim is to gradually let go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep, compassionate connection with others.
You are invited to reflect on your attitudes, perceptions, and emotional patterns. By exploring the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us, we begin to see how deeply connected our inner and outer realities truly are. We examine both logical and scientific perspectives on the nature of the self and our relationships with others.
Why joining
Are you keen to work on your well-being and want to connect with others trying to make their life a little better for themselves and those around them?
Each hour-long gathering begins with a soothing meditation to calm your mind, followed by an inspiring discussion on on a way of being that enriches your everyday life such as interconnection, empathy, compassion… We then dive into a focused meditation designed to help you embrace that way of being fully.
Wrap up your morning with a cup of tea and friendly conversation in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

Facilitatrice: Hilary McMichael
Anglaise d’origine, méditerranéenne de cœur, je suis investie dans les programmes d’Éducation Universelle depuis 2009, d’abord en tant que traductrice des enseignantes venues de pays anglo-saxons, ensuite comme formatrice. Je facilite désormais les 16 Attitudes ainsi que les Méthodes de Transformative Mindfulness (la Pleine Conscience Transformative) ainsi qu’un programme sur la compassion. Je suis aussi formatrice qualifiée pour enseigner le cycle MBSR (la réduction du stress et la gestion des émotions par la pleine conscience) de Jon Kabat-Zinn. J’aime beaucoup enseigner et partager ces pratiques avec des groupes et en session individuelle. La pleine conscience de notre corps, de notre respiration et de notre esprit nous permet d’être mieux physiquement et mentalement. Ces programmes nous donnent des outils pratiques pour nous transformer.
Ma première passion de la peinture et du dessin, (diplômée par l’École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier) est devenue un moyen d’expression qui rassemble ma créativité et ma vie spirituelle.
Jardinière et randonneuse, ma philosophie de vie m’amène vers la sobriété heureuse et joyeuse, faite de valeurs d’accompagnement, de paix et de confiance.

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 clearly structured dialogue process that supports respectful dialogue, and equal participation. Participants take turns listening without giving advice, interrupting, or debating, and each speaker feels fully heard and understood.
The practice is practical and applicable to everyday conversations, and when navigating difficult conversations. 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 Empathy Circle was developed by Edwin Rutsch, founder and director of The Empathy Center, based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers. The four core values of the Empathy Circle are empathy, mutuality, openness and caring

Born English but Mediterranean at heart, I have been involved in Universal Education programs since 2009, first as a translator for teachers from Anglo-Saxon countries, then as a trainer. I now facilitate the 16 Attitudes and Transformative Mindfulness Methods, as well as a program on compassion.
I am also a qualified trainer to teach Jon Kabat-Zinn’s MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) cycle. I really enjoy teaching and sharing these practices with groups and in individual sessions. Mindfulness of our body, our breathing, and our mind allows us to be better physically and mentally. These programs give us practical tools to transform ourselves.
My first passion for painting and drawing (I graduated from the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier) has become a means of expression that brings together my creativity and my spiritual life.
As a gardener and hiker, my philosophy of life leads me towards a happy and joyful simplicity, based on the values of companionship, peace, and trust.
