Have you been to an Empathy Café before?

You are invited to the first Empathy Café (possibly Melbourne’s First ever!).

Here you will get to:
> Drink tea, coffee, or iced chocolate (my fav, but I digress).
> Discuss what are the best ways for you/us to navigate through the Climate Emergency
> Receive empathy for your thoughts and feelings
> Practice active listening
> Allow nourishing pathways forward to unfold that were previous unseen.

Empathy is fuel for our life’s actions.

When we care deeply about something and are working every day to create the regenerative world our hearts know is possible, we too need to nurture regenerative ways of wellbeing within our lives and work for the Earth.

The Empathy café will be based on the Empathy Circle method: http://bit.ly/EC-How

Empathic reflecting is a great skill to practice to:
1) Grow gratitude, empathy, appreciation for life and hence grow joy throughout our lives
2) To practice how to move through challenging conversations with ease & grace
3) To navigate conversations and build connection with those that have divergent view from our own (connection means conversation)
4) Practice active listening (aka deep listening, compassionate listening, reflective speaking)
5) To build connections and open pathways that were previously unforeseen.
Empathy is a practice just like yoga… listening to the videos is a great start and is no replacement for LIVE human-to-human practice.

So come along!
